Aw shit feeling is with me thinking what if this Russian made missile was fired by the Ukrainians?

1. Looking like an S300 interceptor that a) overshot it's target or b) took down a target near Poland

2. Did you mean to post that in your other thread?

4. I wanted to keep the thoughts seperate

[blm]

5. Still, it fits in with your other thread.

6. Absolutely true

3. Mistakes in armed conflict happen.

I can imagine many scenarios for such an inadvertent action to occur.

7. Entirely possible, but it was probably an accident either way.

They could have fired it to intercept inbound Russian missiles hitting Ukraine (they fired a huge salvo today) but this one went awry. Both sides are using old stuff, this was bound to happen at some point. Surprised it didn't' happen sooner.

8. Russia ultimately bears a measure of responsibility

This is a conflict THEY started, this missile or interceptor was involved with a barrage today that was highly damaging, it was so extreme that a chunk of neighborning Moldova, a whole country, lost power.

I think Poland will sympathize with Ukraine's plight.

9. If they are firing air defense missiles which go awry, the blame/cause is still the attackers.

They have a right to defend themselves and accidents happen. It means nothing, culpability-wise, if it turns out to be Ukrainian missile. It is still Russia/Putin's fault.

10. I agree, but it makes for a much more complex foreign policy shit sandwich

12. Yep, unfortunately now NATO must declare war on Ukraine.

Just joking!

11. Russia is still responsible, cuz it was there in coming missile attack that.....

Ukraine was trying to stop. It’s a bad situation but I think Poland will not retaliate if that is the case.

13. How do you figure that could happen?

How would Ukraine get ahold of a Russian missile? How could they make it seem like Russian launched it? They have radar for these things you know. Your idea makes zero sense.

14. I will say it again.

The US knows which driveway it originated from. We have ways you wouldn't believe.
