Russia denies having sent drones into Poland of an attack kind. The Gerbera recon drones haven't military munitions on them. They also have a range of no more than 420 miles- too far for launches from Russia to reach Poland.
There is a chance the wave of 19 Gerbera drones was some kind of media and treaty invoking mission by an unknown semi-intelligence agency and unknown agent provocateur.

Even so, the Flight of the Mystery Drones shattering Polish air space may be reason enough for Senator Graham to ask for a Gulf of Tonkin style resolution to defend Poland against Russian aggression.
Gerbera drones are used mostly as decoys. Made of plywood covered with foam they cost about $10,000 apiece. Apparently they can carry a 5 lb load of plastic explosive, yet the range is reduced to fewer than 190 miles in that case. One-hundred ninety miles is a common flight range for simple recon tasks.
