An abnormal case with a rocket of the Russian OTRK Iskander in Kazakhstan caused concern in Poland

80

The recent fall of a Russian ballistic missile in Kazakhstan outside the designated area caused a violent reaction in Poland. Recall that the missile OTRK Iskander during the tests fell outside the polygon diameter. Fragments of the rocket were found about 627 km from the launch site. This situation was called an emergency event.

In one of the most anti-Russian countries of Eastern Europe, they immediately started talking about the threat from Moscow with respect to the Iskander station located in the Kaliningrad Region.



Polish military expert Maksymilian Dura has published an article accusing Russia of violating the recently terminated Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles. According to the observer, if the Iskander-M missile was able to fly more than 600 km from the launch site, this indicates that it was originally designed for a range of more than 500 km. Meanwhile, the INF Treaty prohibited the development of ground-based missiles with such a flight range.

At the same time, the Polish expert emphasized that previously it was repeatedly said about the possible increase in the firing range of the Iskanders through the use of new generation rocket fuel. And it was the fuel modernization that could lead to an increase in the range of missiles 1,5-2 times.

The concern of the Poles does not seem surprising to us. Poland has long been one of the main bastions of Russophobia in modern Europe, competing for the rank of Russophobe country number one with the Baltic republics and Ukraine. At the same time, the authorities of the country explain their anti-Russian position by the threat that supposedly comes from Russia.

Any military exercises and tests conducted by the armed forces of our country in Poland are perceived extremely painfully. Warsaw immediately begins to say that such missiles are directed against Europe and Poland in the first place. By the way, a well-founded statement, given that Poland itself has turned itself into the main US satellite in Eastern Europe, is placing American military bases on its territory. It is clear that in the event of an armed conflict between the United States and Russia, missiles will strike at American military bases, including in Poland.

In the comments to the article in the Polish media of Defense24, one can see the concern of ordinary Polish citizens.

Germany and much of infantile Europe believe that if they disarm and pay tribute for gas by financing Russian weapons, the bandit will have no reason to attack them,

- writes a certain anonymous author.

Another commentator recalls the events of bygone years, returning to the subject of the agreement of Molotov and Ribbentrop.

Together with Hitler they invaded Poland and, despite the fact that they were supposed to do it on September 1, and not 17, they slipped, but they did,

- the commentator writes under the nickname Matros.

Other commentators note the imperfection of Poland’s air defense and missile defense, emphasizing that it remained at the level of the 1970s.

Without air defense, do you believe that some of our F-16s will take off?

- one of the commentators is interested.

User Jaro is afraid that all of Poland is within the reach of the Russian Iskanders and calls on the Ministry of Defense to pay attention to this.

Naturally, the degree of Russophobia is also very high in the comments. Ordinary Poles write that Russia allegedly threatens all of humanity by shooting down civilian planes, quotes that the Russians are “Asians, barbarians, and drunkards.”

Goes to the Europeans. First of all, Germany, since it is precisely its Poles who are accused of close cooperation with Russia. Many commentators are convinced: Angela Merkel not only seeks to buy Russian gas, but also supports Russia in the conflict with Ukraine, and also turns a blind eye to the "absorption of Belarus" by Russia.

What arrangements between Berlin and Moscow, we usually find out during joint parades on their new border passing through Poland,

- writes Werte.

As you can see, the myth of the Russian threat is inflated in Poland to such an extent that even ordinary citizens - the audience of the Polish media - unconditionally believe that Russia will attack Poland sooner or later? and they don’t understand that Warsaw’s own country is threatening the security of their country, increasing military-political cooperation with the United States and participating in promoting NATO infrastructure to the borders of Russia.

      Once again I am amazed at the inertia of our RF Defense Ministry.

            Firstly, it’s 9M723, not 9M729, which the Americans clung to. Secondly, the development and even deployment of missiles, potentially violating the contract and having reserves in range was not prohibited. Was a violation only physical launch at a range of over 500 km. There were none - the contract was not violated

              True, our Defense Ministry argued that this was basically impossible, but ok ... True, our accusations of placing the missile defense system in containers capable of using the ground version of the "ax" (by the way, long sawn and absent in nature for 30 years) looks far-fetched .. ..

There it was said in black and white that the term "range" of the missile complex means "the maximum range that the missile showed during testing" ... Once again, if the Iskander missile was never launched at a distance of more than 480 km during tests, then it fully corresponded agreement. Dot. Any missile, even if it is capable of covering 3000 km, but it was not tested further than 499 km with a ground launcher, then it fit into the INF Treaty.
        And now they just tested the missile at the maximum range, and it exceeded 650 km. That's all.

      Specify. The flight range of a rocket is the range at which the rocket will fulfill its task with a given probability, i.e. will hit the target with a given circular deviation (or whatever scientific).

      This applies to ALL weapons. For example, even ordinary art systems can increase the range (though terrible frills, but possible).

    According to preliminary data of the joint Kazakh-Russian commission, rocket fragments found in the Aktobe region are identified as a geophysical rocket aimed at studying the upper atmosphere.

    At the place of the fall, measurements of the radiation background were carried out, soil samples and precipitation in the form of snow were taken.

    The wreckage does not pose a threat to either the environment or the residents of the Aktobe region. The dose rate of gamma radiation does not exceed the natural radiation background of the area. We also inform you that the information in the Russian media with reference to social networks that the wreckage of the rocket belongs to the Iskander-M rocket does not find confirmation, the statement said.

    "Iskander" is finished with a high-precision weapon, and can fly into the window, but in this case it will fly immediately into an all-Megaton strike and thermonuclear glow.

    Oh, Russia divided Poland with Hitler? And who shared Czechoslovakia with Hitler? Who constantly and not even very subtly hinted to Hitler that he would be happy to take part in the German campaign against the USSR, and for this he wants nothing at all - Ukraine? And the fact that the lands "seized" by Stalin according to Curzon's plan were to go to the USSR, but Poland, taking advantage of the civil war, slaughtered them for itself, how is that?
