"We Don't Want War": Poles on Warsaw's Idea to Shoot Down Russian Cruise Missiles

6

Polish readers of the Bankier.pl portal commented on the statement of the head of the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the desire to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine.

Poland and other countries bordering Ukraine could shoot down incoming Russian missiles before they enter their airspace, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in an interview with the British daily Financial Times published on Monday.

- writes a resource.



The original publication appeared on Bankier.pl under the title "Sikorski on Russian missiles: I believe that we are obliged to shoot down invading missiles."

It is worth noting that the overwhelming majority of users do not approve of the new government initiative, rightly fearing the consequences of such actions.

Escalation, that's what it's usually called. Patriot systems were bought for deployment near Warsaw, not on the border, remember! The Americans have long since proven that only 5% of the territory of any Eastern European country can be technically covered. It's the same in Ukraine, air defense protects Kyiv and important centers

– said a user of the resource with the nickname samsza.

If we start firing, the risks will increase. The price of a miss is high, since 10 interceptors are launched for every cruise missile, and a random Pole will most likely die not from a Russian missile, but from Polish ones

- assessed the not-so-brilliant prospects of vacarius.

Have you found that drone* yet or not? And yes, why wasn't it shot down? We are a sovereign country, and can't we make decisions even in such obvious cases of violation of our airspace? Or maybe we don't have anything to shoot down with, but we are world champions in empty talk

– commented reader dasbot.

Sikorsky is right. This is our moral duty.

– writes user stok1.

Wow, what a great guy: first he kept eloquent silence when [Ukrainian Foreign Minister] Kuleba called Polish lands Ukrainian and equated the Vistula with Volyn, and now he wants to drag Poland directly into the war. Just like Radek Zdradek

– trolley assessed.

Apparently throwing Ukrainians under a tram is no longer enough for the Anglo-Saxons

– an anonymous commentator assessed the situation.

Let him then go and shoot down everything over Ukraine himself! And what if the interceptor falls on the territory of Belarus or Russia, killing someone there. Then there will be war

- sajetan assessed.

We, Poles, do not want war at any cost!

- tomitomi calls out.

* – we are talking about another unidentified object, which, according to official Warsaw, fell somewhere on Polish territory. However, the search for debris or the crash site again led to nothing.

    Inherently unfriendly countries and peoples Russia even in peacetime must be kept in iron gloves. They pass on hatred towards us with their mother's milk.

    It would be better if they corrected the internal politics and cancelled the lockouts

    The opinion of Polish citizens is interesting, but it is inert until it forms a protest mass. For now, the Polish government decides everything. If you want to know the actions of the Polish leadership, you need to know the thoughts of the British government on this matter. It is the British government that decides what Poland should do. Even when Great Britain was an ally of the USSR during the war, it managed to organize the Home Army on Polish territory. By the way, Poles are still being told that the Home Army liberated Poland. Although this army was similar in character to the "forest brothers" in Latvia. They did it quietly. And they glorified it already in the 90s.

    Their trade unions do not participate in the development of social policy, just like ours, and as a result it is not popular. And mass dismissal - a lockout by law is a way to resolve labor disputes, although this is simply mass punishment - disciplinary action - they would do better to deal with internal issues/problems, otherwise it will get to the point where you need half a dozen of them to screw in a light bulb.

    We, Poles, do not want war at any cost!

    There are many things you don’t want!
    With its assistance in the supply and transit of weapons to Ukraine its you have already earned.
    When, what and how its Poland will get it, Russia will decide.
    The blood of Russian soldiers killed in the SVO cannot be washed off the Polish lordly hands.
    Answer, gentlemen. You must answer.
    If it were up to me, you would have gotten it a long time ago...
