Since Poland is deploying its latest and greatest fighters and this version of F-16's never appeared in Baltic states (in past deployments, Polish pilots were flying MIG-29 Fulcrum), the activity of Russian aircraft can increase. On the 15th May Polish F-16's had intercept Il-20 (NATO Code: Coot-A) ECM/ELINT aircraft and Spanish F-18's had intercept the Su-24 (NATO Code: Fencer) attack aircraft. But no one expects the provocations known from Greek and Turkish incidents, were both countries are testing their latest toys. The responsibilities of Polish fighter pilots will be exactly the same as in country, where one of four Tactical Air Bases has a QRA pair on 24/7/365 basis, ready to respond to call from COAC in Uedem, but this summer might be bit hotter for pilots. The Polish deployment will end in the early September when the crew from USA will take over responsibilities. www.fragoutmag.com
