/ date of the event
On 22 September 2026, Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz reported that Polish fighters had intercepted a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea, about 40 km off Poland’s coast. This entry records an interception, without confirmation of a violation of Polish airspace. The source does not provide an exact position or route; distance from the coast alone is insufficient to establish jurisdiction. Transponder and flight-plan details from earlier interceptions are not applied to this event. The record has no map point.
