"The reality is these weapon systems are not just targeting Ukraine, they're not just targeting Poland. They're being built to intimidate us. Mohammad-Javad Larijani, who's one of the principal spokesmen for the Ayatollah of Iran, has made it clear that one of the intentions of developing these weapon systems is to threaten Europe. We need to make sure that our country is secure and our country is safe."
"In the operation in the Polish skies, some of the Russian drones were detected and shot down by F-35s. It is not the most economical way of dealing with such a threat. And if they did to us what they're doing every week to Ukraine and launched hundreds of these things, we would be pretty soon out of sight of them."
MPs warn the government must prepare for kamikaze drones capable of reaching UK airspace. Officials state the Iranian Shahed 136 can travel 2,500km at about 180km/h and detonates on impact. UANI senior advisor Tom Tugendhat says these weapon systems are intended to intimidate Europe and are not limited to Ukraine or Poland, citing Mohammad-Javad Larijani on Iranian intentions. NATO jets scrambled in September after Russian drones violated Polish airspace. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Radek Sikorski said the incursions exposed a serious gap in European defences. He warned that using F-35s to intercept swarms is uneconomical and called for cheaper, effective air-defence solutions and Ukrainian experience and technology.
