Polish FM Says NATO Could Defeat Russia Quickly If Moscow Attacked

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski said NATO could defeat Russia rapidly if Moscow launched an attack, pointing to the alliance’s superior air power. He estimated NATO has roughly 2,500 aircraft and argued that its capabilities would remain overwhelming even without the United States. Sikorski compared NATO’s potential strength with Ukraine’s strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, suggesting the alliance could severely damage Russia’s refining capacity within weeks. His comments were hypothetical and did not constitute a military assessment of a conflict.
