Every day, NATO fighter jets are scrambled in response to Russian aircraft approaching Allied airspace. On NATO’s eastern flank, Polish pilots protect this area, with only 15 minutes to take off after an alert. A TVN24 reporter followed their mission up close. Artur Molęda became the first Polish journalist to fly in an F‑16, witnessing the demands of air defense firsthand, alongside allied F‑35 fighters demonstrating NATO’s commitment to securing Polish airspace.
