🇺🇸🪖🇵🇱❌🇷🇺 — U.S. F-35 Over Poland Declares Radio Failure Emergency
A U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter jet flying over eastern Poland alongside a NATO Airbus A330-243 has triggered alarm after squawking 7600—the transponder code for a radio communication failure emergency.
The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between NATO and Russia, with Eastern Europe on high alert following Russia’s intensified drone activity near the Polish border.
A 7600 code signals that the aircraft has lost the ability to communicate with air traffic control, often prompting rerouting or military escort procedures. NATO has not yet issued an official statement regarding the situation.
This development adds a new layer of concern as the alliance continues to reinforce its eastern flank amid fears of escalation.
