Eight more US F-15 fighter jets arrived in Poland today to take part in Nato air policing amid continued signs of Russian escalation on Poland’s border with Ukraine, APA reports citing BBC.
“More American F-15 fighters landed today at the base in Lask,” wrote Poland’s defence minister Mariusz Blaszczak on Twitter.
“Eight aircraft join those that came to Poland last week,” he added.
Over the weekend, US officials said an additional 3,000 American soldiers would be sent to Poland in the coming days.
About two thirds of a first tranche of 1,700 US troops have already arrived in Poland.
