Aviation exercises spark tension near Kaliningrad border

One of the Russian channels on Telegram informed that around two hours ago, the 'pszeki' practised operations in the Kaliningrad Special Area. The post includes a photo showing the operational situation in the airspace near the Polish-Russian border.

The Telegram channel "Fighterbomber" is run by a retired Russian Air Force pilot. The channel is often very well-informed about all Russian aviation activities.

Many of the reports provided by Russian media are likely not true. Such reports may be part of an information war by the Russian Federation.

On Tuesday, the channel reported on Polish aviation exercises in the Kaliningrad region. "Two hours ago, the 'pszeki' practised operations in the Kaliningrad Special Area. They made six approaches," the report reads. 'Pszeki' is a mocking term for Poles in the Russian language.

"On the last turn, they were 40 kilometres from the state border. They are practising" - it summarised. The post includes a photo showing the operational situation in the Kaliningrad region airspace, which also shows Polish territory.
