Original publisher’s rating
DW Fact check: False The video does not show a Russian drone in Poland, and that's quite easy to detect: An important first detail is the daylight in the video. The video shows a drone during the day, but the drones appeared overnight. The first airspace breach occurred at about 11:30 p.m. local time (2130 GMT/UTC) and continued until about 6:30 a.m. It was dark at that time. A reverse image search provides further information: The video has already appeared several times in the past, such as in February, when a Ukrainian website reported on Russian drone attacks, and again in July. So the video is not linked to the current situation. Still, we were not able to find the exact origin of the video.
