Polish Commander: We Could Have Engaged Ukrainian MiG; Missile Trajectory Confirms Intent

Polish Operational Commander Gen. Ireneusz Nowak states Polish forces could have opened fire on a Ukrainian MiG but did not, and that analysis of a maneuvering missile's trajectory indicates it had no alternative target in Ukraine, heading precisely to its intended impact point. This is a notable admission of potential engagement and a claim about missile intent, though details of the incident and corroboration remain unclear. The statement signals heightened military readiness and potential escalation risks on NATO's eastern flank.
