POLAND vowed to shoot Russian aircraft in its airspace – and urged Britain to stand with them.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said there was “no room for debate”.

He said: “I want to be very clear. We will make a decision to shoot down flying objects without discussion when they violate our territory and fly over Poland .”

He acknowledged it could “trigger a very acute phase of conflict”.

And he said he needed “absolute certainty” that Nato allies would respond “in exactly the same way as we do”.

He was speaking after RAF Typhoons roared over eastern Poland on Friday with orders to shoot down Russian drones.
