The recent fall of the Russian ballistic missiles in Kazakhstan outside the allotted area led to violent reactions in Poland. Recall, that PTRC rocket “Iskander” during the tests fell outside the polygon diameter. Fragments of the rocket found out about 627 away from places launches. This situation is called the non-standard case.
In one of the most anti-Russian in Eastern Europe immediately began talking about the threat from Moscow with regard to placed PTRC “Iskander” in the Kaliningrad region.
Polish military expert Maximilian Dura (Maximilian Dura) published an article, which it accuses Russia of violating the terminated recently Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. According to the browser, if the missile "Iskander-M" was able to fly over 600 km from the launch site, it shows, that it was originally designed for a range of 500 km. meanwhile, INF Treaty prohibits the development of land-based missiles with a range of flight.
In the same time, Polish expert underlined, before repeatedly stated that a possible increase in the firing range of the "Iskander" through the use of a new generation of rocket fuel. And that upgrading fuel could lead to higher-range missiles action 1,5-2 fold.
Poles concern does not seem surprising. Poland has long been one of the main bastions of Russophobia in today's Europe, vying for the title of russophobe-country number one with the Baltic republics and Ukraine. In this case, their anti-Russian stance, the authorities explain the threat, which allegedly comes from Russia.
Any military exercises and tests, conducted by the armed forces of our country, Poland perceived extremely painful. In Warsaw, immediately start talking about, that such missiles are directed against Europe and Poland in the first place. by the way, well-founded allegation, Considering, Poland itself has transformed itself into a major US satellites in Eastern Europe, hosts on its territory the US military base. clear, in the case of the US and Russian armed conflict rocket hit the US military bases, including in Poland.
In comments to the article in the Polish media Defence24 evident concern ordinary Polish citizens.
Germany and most of Europe consider infantile, that if they disarm and pay tribute for gas, financing Russian weapons, the bandits would have no reason to attack them,
– He wrote some anonymous.
Another commentator recalls the events of bygone years, Returning to the subject of the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement.
Together they Hitler invaded Poland and, despite, that they had to do it 1 September, but not 17, slipped, but made,
– writes columnist nick Matros.
Other commentators point out imperfections and missile defense Poland itself, Stressing, it remained at the level of 1970.
Without defense, you believe, that some of our F-16s take off?
– Interested in one of the commentators.
User Yaro afraid, that the whole of Poland is in the reach of the Russian "Iskander" and calls on the Ministry of Defense to pay attention to it.
The crash of the Su-57 will affect the export of new fighters: in the wake of events in Khabarovsk Krai
Naturally, very high degree in the comments and Russophobia. Ordinary Poles write about, that Russia allegedly threatens all of humanity, knocking down civilian planes, quote passages that, that the Russian - "Asians, Barbarians and drunks ".
Extracts and Europeans. First of all, Germany, because it was her Poles are accused of close cooperation with Russia. Many commentators believe: Angela Merkel is not only seeks to buy Russian gas, but also support Russia in conflict with Ukraine, and turning a blind eye to the "absorption of Belarus" Russia.
Any agreement between Berlin and Moscow, we usually find out in a joint parade in their new frontier, passing through Poland,
– пишет values.
As you can see, the myth about the Russian threat in Poland inflated to such an extent, that even ordinary citizens - the Polish media audience - unconditionally believe, that sooner or later Russia attacked Poland? and do not understand, that the security of their country Warsaw itself jeopardizes, increasing military and political cooperation with the United States and participating in the promotion of NATO infrastructure closer to Russia's borders.
