Polish Reporting: Ukrainian interceptors struck missile that landed in Poland. (Original Post) WarGamer Nov 2022 OP
So where the missiles headed before being struck ? Beachnutt Nov 2022 #1
IDK but it's laughable to think Russia was targeting Poland. WarGamer Nov 2022 #3
I believe it's fully possible Russia targeted this place... joshcryer Nov 2022 #13

Looks like there's the proof NATO needs to now enter the war. The missiles also killed two. ancianita Nov 2022 #4
won't happen based on errant rockets or rockets shot down by UKR. WarGamer Nov 2022 #6

Which is why they are full denying it was even them.

We know their weapons are shit. Some reports have said 40% of them don't even go off. That they land somewhere other than intended frequently seems likely.

But our military's being cautious.

Reports of the missile strike first emerged in Polish media, with firefighters saying two people died in an explosion in Przewodów. Polish Radio ZET also reported that two stray missiles had hit Przewodów, while an anonymous U.S. intelligence official relayed the info to the AP.

Officials in Poland and the United States have yet to confirm the report. A Polish government spokesperson, Piotr Mueller, tweeted that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was holding an emergency meeting about a “crisis situation.”

Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said during a news briefing, “We are aware of the press reports alleging that two Russian missiles have struck a location inside Poland near the Ukraine border. I can tell you that we don’t have any information at this time to corroborate those reports and are looking into this further.”

Considering the verified fact that Russian missiles are in Poland, killed two, doesn't seem to change the ramifications of the situation, imo. Whether they were intercepted or not doesn't much matter to most of the sources I've reviewed.

a cause to enter the war, whether the Russian missiles landed in Poland intentionally or by accident.

Watch carefully your sources, I see on 4chan the Russians are trying to change the narrative that it was a malfunctioning S-300.
