Ukrainian Missiles Strike Poland

Yesterday, okraine fired a rocket that killed two Polish residents. should NATO declare war on okraine ?
They tried to intercept a Russian missile but missed and got into Poland
according to CNN "The Ukrainian military told US and allies that it attempted to intercept a Russian missile during the timeframe and near that location of the Poland missile strike, a US official told CNN.

It’s not clear this air defense missile is the same missile that struck Poland, but this information has informed an ongoing US assessment of the strike.

A Pentagon spokesperson referred CNN to comments by US President Joe Biden last night: “It’s unlikely, in the minds of the trajectory, that it was fired from Russia. But we’ll see. We’ll see.”

I will say this much: I am glad we are in an age when such things can become clear rather quickly. Like the case with Karpov. And indeed the whole war in general.

I would say this is the main reason why the Russian war has been going so badly. It's a different age, and information processing and transferring goes through so much more quickly, to such an extent as to be almost infinitely more accurate and speedy, so that's very good.

The Muppet Show again?!
Didn't the Patriot missile system track incoming missiles in Iraq? I know the british military had the technology years ago to detect where artillery was firing from and return fire to those positions. Surely things have moved on technologically since then.

Im a bit surprised that they've not been able to say more precisely where 'that missile' came from - be it from Russian forces or Ukrainian.

Although given that there was massive misinformation over WMD in Iraq, knowing who to trust is not as clear cut as it should be. JMO.
