16.09.2025The day of the Polish F-16 missile strike
Polish media on September 16th focused on two major developments. Early reports centered on national security, including neutralizing a drone over government buildings and discussions on an anti-drone shield. President Nawrocki's statements in a German newspaper regarding reparations were also widely covered. The central story, however, evolved around an incident in Wyryki, initially reported as a drone strike, but later confirmed to be a missile from a Polish F-16. This led to President Nawrocki demanding explanations from the Prime Minister. Concurrently, Nawrocki proposed that Germany could pay reparations by funding the Polish military, a suggestion that drew criticism regarding its impact on reconciliation.
