There’s some suggestion the ‘hijacking’ is part of a military training exercise.
France News 24 wrote: “Renegade/Sarex-21 exercises are taking place in Poland.
“Hijacking this aircraft may be an element of these exercises.”
The Polish Armed Forces also referred to the “tactical-special exercise renegade/Sarex-21” aimed at countering terrorist threats from the air, as well as conducting search and rescue operation on land and at sea.
This began on May 17 and is running until tomorrow (May 21).
The Polish Armed Forces wrote on its website: “During the exercise, four episodes will be conducted. The first will concern the abduction of a civilian aircraft as a possible means of terrorist attack posing a threat to national security.
“The second episode will be massevac in connection with the collision of two ships with injured people on burning and sinking units.

Hey, thanks for that.
I had read thar our guys were doing an exercise “over there”, with Poland. This report made a question whether Highjackers would be motivated to pull off such an attack, *Because* it was an Exercise, or, “In Spite” of it.
I think your reports sound more realistic than the initial “police frequency” received.
Thanks!
