BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Two Norwegian F-35s stationed in Poland were deployed on Wednesday in response to a "massive number of airborne Russian aircraft" that approached Poland's air space, NATO's air command said on Thursday.
It was the first time Norway's F-35s had been used in Polish airspace after they were sent there last December.
(This Jan. 16 story has been corrected to change 'entered' to 'approach' in the headline, and to remove 'entered' from paragraph 1 after clarification from spokesperson)
