Polish Forces Train in Ukraine-Inspired Drone Drills Amid Rising Russian Gray Zone Actions

Polish Forces Train in Ukraine-Inspired Drone Drills Amid Rising Russian Gray Zone ActionsPreviousNext

Polish special forces are conducting a new drone-focused military exercise in Germany, designed by U.S. Green Berets and based on lessons from Ukraine's conflict with Russia. This NATO training simulates deep strikes behind enemy lines, reflecting evolving drone warfare tactics. Meanwhile, European officials report increased Russian 'gray zone' activities, including drone incursions and cyberattacks, aimed at destabilizing NATO allies and curbing support for Ukraine. U.S. and NATO leaders express concern over these developments amid rising tensions with Russia.
