| ‘Russian Missile' Entered NATO Airspace, Says Poland: Combat Readiness Increased | |
| 2023-12-30 | |
| [Breitbart] Poland says a Russian missile participating in this morning’s massive air strike on Ukraine spent three minutes in Polish, and hence NATO, airspace. A missile entered NATO airspace on Friday morning at around 0700 (0000 EST), the Polish military says. While initially said to have been a missile of unknown origin and a search for a downed aircraft was launched, Poland now says it has confirmed with its own observations and data from allied militaries that the object was, in fact, a Russian missile. Polsat reports the remarks of General Wiesław Kukuła who said Ukraine had suffered "a difficult night" of a saturation attack by Russian forces against its air defences, attempting to overwhelm them with drones before pressing on with a missile followup. Polish air defences tracked these attacks over Ukraine, he said, and "One of these rockets crossed the Polish border and then left it."

| #8 My theory of the crime is that a missile programmed to swing wide around the air defense and sneak in the back way drifted a bit too far and strayed into Poland. Oopsie! No harm, no foul, right? |

| #7 ^By NATO servicemen - if you believe that Ukrops direct Himars & anti-ship missiles, I can offer you a good deal on Brooklyn bridge. |

| #5 Let's assume it is Russian and overflew Poland...I'm not sure that is really an intentional act of war and anyone pushing for it should be considered very suspect. This is a "Hey, watch where your toys go" situation at MOST. |

| #4 Did they launch from Russia Kaliningrad Oblast? It would have to transit Poland. |

| #3 I don't ever believe a word from the Ukrainians, ever, and I am quite skeptical of the Poles. |

| #1 So, like, then NATO air defense did nothing? (could do nothing?) What, it's not like it's a Chinese balloon or something. |
