How do you know it wasn't a Ukrainian AA missile? Someone posted a telegram photo suggesting it was a S300 AA missile [1] What scares me is that everyone is speculating and jumping to conclusions without hard facts. Behaving this way can easily escalate some trivial situation into something more serious. [1]: https://t.me/intelslava/41141 https://t.me/intelslava/41141

A valid point, but my concern still stands. We should be able to capture any missiles coming in.

  Where did you hear that?

Russia is increasingly using their S300s to attack ground targets. It's a bit of a waste of a sophisticated rocket, and the warhead is smaller, but the ones they fire tend to be reaching EOL anyway due to age. That, or lack of better alternatives. So could still be Russian.

> What scares me is that everyone is speculating and jumping to conclusions without hard facts. Stanisław Jerzy Lec said that it's shameful to suspect when you're certain. Russia has a well established reputation, so while investigation is needed, we can safely assume it's Russian rockets. We of course will be surprised if it happen to be false, but before that it should be logical to follow most likely explanation.

  "Stanisław Jerzy Lec said that it's shameful to suspect when you're certain." But there is no certainty here, just speculation. "we can safely assume it's Russian rockets" It's dangerous to assume anything when it could lead to WW3.

    We're moving to WW3 if we don't take events like this seriously.

Consequence of overconsumption fear agenda pushed by media for years. I honestly don't know ho to defend myself about that? Being ignorant to news is probably not good idea. But finding relevant information nowadays require significant amount of time. That is luxury that most people cannot effort so I guess majority easily jump to any kind of trends.
