Russia just keep setting the bar lower and lower, the less the west reacts the more sh*t they keep throwing.
250km -350 km depending on the variants used ,
If they came from Belarus nothing being said about it so far ,it could give lushashenko a huge headache first thing in the morning
Whats the distance for the S300 missiles? Looking at the map and it looks like it was bombed from Belarus. Obviously ruzzkies did it, but the investigation will point this to Belarusian territory. And Putin will wash his hands singing "wasn't me" by Shaggy. F@ck sake.
Lol
S300 air defense missles don't leave large Crater's in the ground
Some report that the wreckage in Poland at the missile site matches a russian cruise missile.

If the target was the electricity inter-connector on the border then it is more than an accident if it was shot down and hit civilians in Poland and killed them. I can't see how russia will not see some additional measures taken by NATO in response to this.
The woman could be right but of course Russia firing missiles onto civilian targets is a war crime anyway so either way the despot country needs to be reined in by whatever means necessary.
Apparently their is an important electricity interconnecter in the same area , just happens what was Russia bombing today in Ukraine, energy infrastructure
Looks like Article 4 it is, no doubt some will be disappointed it isn't Article 5:-
And from Jens Stoltenberg:-
the war is spreading too much
Looking at maps, that area of Poland is extremely remote, lightly populated with tonnes of agricultural land.
If something was intercepted or it was an error what are the chances of it hitting this exact spot out in a field where two guys just happen to be working with machinery.
Quite slim, definitely much more leaning towards intentional the more I think about it.
I think it stopped them, the theory goes, going over a Polish section on the way to another part of Ukraine, through a U Bend, but flying missiles over Polish air space won’t be taken lightly either.
Now, if it was a cruise missile, we’ll zero accident.
They preformed an alerion roll followed by a loop the loop before splitting the throttles which allowed the cruise missiles to latch on to a tail wind which pushed the missles into Poland.
Simple explanation 🤣🤣😀🤣
Can someone explain how Ukrainian forces shooting at these two missiles added range to these and made them go further to land in Poland?
Sounds like someone is trying to blame the Ukrainans
Seems claims of Russian cruise missiles used in the strikes doing the rounds
Ah they are gonna Nordstream it aren't they... Bury this story so it doesn't escalate.
From the BBC
"But neither the US nor its Nato allies want to be drawn into a direct confrontation with Russia.
The state department said that intent would be a factor in determining next steps.
Kurt Volker, a former US special envoy for Ukraine, also told the BBC it was very important to establish whether any missile strike on Polish territory had been intentional or accidental.
Nato should demand a clear explanation from Russia, he said, and, if a missile had gone astray, take steps to make sure it wouldn’t happen again.
There was potential for mistakes on Tuesday, with Ukrainians trying to shoot down a massive barrage of Russian missiles targeting their electricity grids"
NATO will do absolutely naff all, like the UN useless. This was a test, and when NATO do nothing, Putin will do worse. Poland though, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them take strong action themselves. Now, where’d I put them iodine tablets we got in the post 20 years ago?
Ah yes, but I heard someone saying NATO might decide they need all the air defences to protect themselves from any more 'accidents', so reducing or eliminating their supply to Ukraine.
I did wonder about this. Strategic military targets only if it is the case, as would be expected from Poland.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some F16 or equivalent donated to Ukraine
People are saying it could have been a S-300 missile. From a bit of Googling, these only have a range of around 200km. Russia are nowhere near 200km from the site.
Unless it came from Belarus........
Not necessarily, but still a possibility, absolutely
Possibly.
Either way, if it was a miscalculation, it was a fookin stupid one and if it was some kind of Putin test, its also incredibly stoopid.
Russia has nothing to gain and everything to lose regardless of whichever option you choose.
The Poland/NATO response will be interesting to see. Is there anything beyond "raising the alert level" yet? My money is on some restrictions being dropped in terms of equipment being sent to Ukraine. Possibly longer range GMLRS, possibly even ATACMS MkI
Ah, a Polish person on the BBC says this farm is very close to where an electrical interconnector crosses the border supplying Ukraine with power from Poland. Funny coincidence given the Horde have been trying to cripple Ukraines's electricity supplies.
One possible positive outcome might be that Russia will stop firing missiles at any Ukrainian targets in the direction of Poland or other NATO member countrys
Impossible; the Horde denied firing missiles anywhere near the border.
Not likely, if that was his intention then why only fire 2 missiles ?
Depends when the 2 hit, if both at same time then most likely a miscalculation
The BBC had commentary from a retired Australian general, Mick Ryan, who said he thought longer range and significant offensive weapons should be given to Ukraine and that there was no reason not to now, so hopefully Biden will agree and Atacms and other stuff will now be supplied. Flipping the bird to the G20 should be responded to. Ryan also said the greater offensive capability would serve a humanitarian function in terms of ultimately saving Ukrainian lives by letting it clear the Horde from their land more rapidly.
