The hijacking of the plane took place during the days of military exercises
Note that the Polish Armed Forces confirmedthat “tactical and special exercises” are being held on the territory of the country Renegade/Sarex-21. Они aimed at countering terrorist threats from the air, as well as conducting search and rescue operations on land and at sea.
The exercises began on May 17 and will last until tomorrow, May 21.
“During the exercise, four episodes will be held. The first will concern the abduction of a civilian aircraft as a possible means of a terrorist attack posing a threat to national security,” the statement said.
The pilot gave a special encrypted signal
At the same time, the portal OpenSky Network reported that a Boeing 737-86X belonging to the Polish Air Force had signaled the hijacking of the aircraft.
The pilot sent a special code 7500 to the controller, which means “the plane is hijacked”. Judging by the interactive map on the portal’s website, the plane is flying over the territory of Poland, not far from the border with the Czech Republic.
