Poland reports details of airspace violation by Russian missile
On December 29, a missile flew into Polish airspace during Russia's attack on Ukraine and stayed there for about 3 minutes. This was stated by the operational commander of Poland's Armed Forces, Major General Maciej Klisz, as reported by Wiadomości and Polsat News
According to Maciej Klisz, the missile flew about 40 kilometers into Poland, and its course was monitored by radar.
Poland also stated that it had decided to track the trajectory of the missile on the ground. However, they noted that "this is just equipment that should be treated with caution".
"The option I propose from a military point of view is that the missile should leave Poland. The object was in Poland for less than 3 minutes, approximately 40 km of airspace violation. It was tracked along its entire flight path," Maciej Klisz said.
Later, Polsat News reported that according to unofficial information, the missile that flew into Poland could have been a Kh-22 or Kh-101. The missile was supposed to fly along the Polish border and violate the country's airspace.
In the morning, the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces announced that an unidentified object had violated the airspace. According to Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat, the airspace violation is a signal to the allies that Ukraine's air defense needs to be strengthened.
