Poland's got a population roughly the same size as Ukraine with a much more advanced economy 3 times its size and several hundred years of experiences that left them just waiting for the first opportunity to kick Russia's shit in.

Given what we've seen so far in Ukraine, I don't know if Russia wants to take them on too.

Don't see anyone claim it's deliberate, beside Russia and their shills claiming it's deliberately done by Ukraine as a provocation to push Poland/NATO into the war, of course.
Considering it happened when Russia launched something like 85 missiles at Ukraine, it doesn't strike me as improbable that one of them would end up overshooting and hitting Poland by accident. After all, we have footage of Russian missiles malfunctioning, these things happen.

There is a possibility of it being a failed intercept, I suppose. Because Ukraine is also using some of the same rockets. But I blame Kremlin for the whole thing anyway, of course.

I don't remember a statement from russia suggesting it was deliberately done by Ukraine. Austrian News reported the following

"The Ministry of Defense in Moscow described the reports of Russian missiles hitting Polish territory as deliberate "provocations". The Interfax news agency quoted the ministry as saying that this would aim to escalate the situation. There were no attacks with Russian weapons on targets near the Polish-Hungarian border."

Im pretty sure you also have nothing to back up your claim that russia was firing rockets at other targets in that vicinity when those supposedly "malfunctioned" and overshot the target, considering the nearest bigger city is Lviv, which is 70 kilometers away from where those two rockets hit. Its not shilling, its called being logical.

Look closely at the chart. There's an almost perfectly straight axis from Lviv north to the impact area. The easiest explanation for that means the missile was targeted at Lviv but something went wrong causing it to deviate slightly off course. So it went the distance it was targeted for but the positioning was off.

Russia's had a lot of quality issues with its equipment and its missiles are no different.

When you are traveling at the kinds of speeds these missiles are, even seemingly small errors can have huge effects.

Because its far more logical than Russia launching rockets into no-mans land without any military targets within 70 kilometers.

Since when anything that Russia done in this war has sense? Plenty of proofs where they were executing civilians and raping children and you're acting like anything they are doing has any kind of sense.

There were no other rockets reported to have hit Lviv or surrounding areas at that time, also what straight line? Is Putin shooting rockets from Romania?

How about those mines? Ukraine can't import a lot of coal (the railway gauge doesn't match, and the sea can be blockaded, also there's no coal on the market), so this looks like an obvious target. I'm just speculating, but if I were Putin, I would hit them so that they freeze.

Except that any Russian missiles fired at Lviv would need to come from Russia, but probably Belarus. Which is a different direction, rather than an overshoot.

Another working theory that may explain this is that these were actually Ukrainian S-300 missiles which were launched to protect Lviv from cruise missiles but missed their intended target. It could be an accident.

S-300 do have a ground attack mode, so that scale of damage to where they land is not unexpected.

If something has happened then it's almost certainly an accident and I doubt will lead to anything.

Don't forget that the Turks shotdown a Russian jet and killed one of the pilots a few years ago over a 17 second airspace violation and that didn't go anywhere either. I mean, the times and tensions are different now but I can't imagine it will lead to more than condemnations and more (somehow) sanctions.

If I'm wrong, well I'll probably have bigger things to worry about.

I remember the Happenings, 2022 / The sounds of that shitshow still haunt me to this day /Trash cans, top hats from enemy lines
The sickening sound of a puzzle piece tearing through self esteem/The janny next to me dropping Semper Fi's in desperation/All these badges still echo in my mind/And as conducted by Sam Losco himself it all comes together as music

A rhythm of Seethe
A symphony of Cope
