NATO's response : Eastern Flank Reinforcement

 

Operation Eastern Sentry

  • NATO has launched Eastern Sentry (or "Eastern Sentinel") starting ~12 September 2025, following violations of the airspace of Poland by Russian drones. This operation is intended to strengthen NATO’s posture along its eastern flank — air, ground, and sea assets are involved. ABC News+3NATO+3RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty+3

  • Airspace Incursions as a Catalyst

  • Strengthening of Forces & Assets

    • NATO is deploying additional air defense, fighter aircraft, aerial patrols, and naval/maritime assets. For example, aircraft from various member states have been mobilized to better patrol and defend eastern member airspace. ABC News+3NATO+3RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty+3

    • Border controls are heightened. Poland has closed border crossings with Belarus. Also, increased surveillance and readiness along borders. Wikipedia+2AGN+2

  • Diplomatic / Political Moves

    • Poland invoked NATO’s Article 4, prompting consultations among Allies. Wikipedia+1

    • NATO leadership is publicly stressing that provocations (drone incursions, etc.) are being taken seriously, and that an attack or intrusion in one place affects all members. RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty+1

  • Context: Zapad-2025 & Russian/Belarus Actions

    • The Russian-Belarusian exercise Zapad-2025 (12-16 Sept) is viewed by NATO and neighboring countries as a strategic pressure tool. Though declared defensive by Moscow and Minsk, its proximity to NATO borders, involvement of advanced missile and air assets, and the timing (just after drone incursions) make it a trigger for these counter-moves.

    • NATO states that some activity is being moved further inside Belarus, possibly to reduce visibility or comply with international monitoring norms. The Kyiv Independent
