Drone footage captures damage left by missile strike on Polish village

DRONE ootage shot by a Polish broadcaster on Sunday (November 20) showed the crater left behind by a missile strike on a village close to the Ukrainian border that killed two people.

The footage from broadcaster TVN also showed broken windows on surrounding buildings of a grain-drying facility in the village of Przewodow where the missile hit on Nov. 15.

Poland and other Western states have said the strike was from Ukrainian air defence missile that went astray in pursuit of a Russian missile.

If this crater was made by an s300, I'm Santa Claus

Poland is a great Nation. Like Ukrainians, also Poland knows exactly what suffering immensely under moSScovia's rule is.
Poland & Ukraine & Baltic States are brothers, family 💞

This wasn’t done by a surface to air missile. To much damage. Craters to big.

[stamfordmeetup]

this crater and damage is far too big to be from an anti- aircraft missile accident. It does look like it was from a Russian fired missile.

I would take anything reported by The Sun with a sack of salt.

0:16 That crater hit by missile looks so REAL. I can confirm it!😐

[ChodaStanks]

This wasnt made by an air defense missile

I tell everyone it wasn't an AA missle. Everyone just agreed not to start WW3 that day. It was Russian retaliation most likely over the grain deal. Like really the only 2 AA missiles that entered Poland just happen to hit targets killing people? Thank those 2 brave souls who lost their lives that day.

Thank God they don't have any nukes

Sorry, Don't believe this was Ukraine for one minute

This is definitely not a crater from a crashing AA rocket. Such a crater (10+ meters) and all the damage to buildings dozens, even hundreds of meters away
were caused by a large warhead, which AA missiles do not have.
Older AA missiles, like Russian S300, in particular destroy with shrapnel, which would be stuck in the ground and lying around in large numbers. Are there any?
The windows of the buildings were destroyed by strong blast pressure, but if they had been destroyed by shrapnel, the facades of the buildings
would have suffered a lot as well. But you can't see any of that, even in close view. Nothing.
They may not have been freshly painted, but they definitely haven't been damaged by shrapnel either. Definitely not.

The building, which can also be seen in close-up (without any shrapnel damage), is about 50m away from the impact crater. This can be well estimated from the first aerial images of this video and the later aerial images at 01:06. In both sequences you can see (bottom and left) the same sandy, a little curvy but almost rectangular area covered with some white (possibly snow). This area is only a few meters away from the impact crater, as can be seen in the first aerial photos. In any case, these 50m are not enough to eliminate the shrapnel effect. If shrapnel from an AA missile didn't even make it 50m, it would never have the penetrating power needed to seriously damage an airplane or missile speeding by at 900 to 2000 km/h. The buildings visible at 01:06 and other sequences, between 100 and 200+m away, also show destroyed windows, for which the explosion effect must have been very large. The concrete walls only about 15-20m away from the impact crater (at 00:27) show absolutely no shrapnel impact. But that would be absolutely unavoidable in the event of an AA missile detonation just a few meters away, especially since AA missiles detonate several (even dozens) meters from the target in order to maximize the scattering of the shrapnel. The deep and wide crater also makes it clear that this explosion did not come from an AA rocket that exploded several meters before impact, but from a projectile that exploded directly on the ground.

If anyone is interested in what the effect of shrapnels is, you can watch it here on SUN in the October 1st video
"Destroyed civilian vehicles covered in bullet holes after shelling".
No crater, mass shrapnel impacts over a large area killing dozens of people.

So the missile laid down plastic and strategically place dirt on it? The dirt on one side looks freshly dug and all the other dirt looks to be settled from moisture. There is also snow everywhere except where the freshly dug dirt is. Another thing I noticed was a backhoe setting in the driveway. Things that make you say hmm…

I read the comments, and i surprised . Lots of couch expert here . 😂😂😂

Wow 😲 excelent vídeo . I ask your permission to share it in the community section in my YouTube chanell

That crater 💯 from Ukrainian Army S300 anti aircraft missile

[przemekzawislak]

Should Polish gov said a true about this, stop hiding information…

[thilomanten]

Is NATO's Art. 5 still worth batsh!t?

[michamarkowski]

The Ukrainian side has still not apologized to the Polish side. They thinks they attacked by Russia will justify it. It is not.

[PatriciaSantos-qtlw]

It's very simple to explain and easy to understand:
It's worth noting that generically the kind Ukrainian Nation has been living peacefully with ALL its neighbors. The heroic Ukraine has mostly good relations with all its several surrounding partners.
While, on the other hand, aggressive unwelcome warmongering ruSSia -- which borders 17 countries, has hostile relations to all those countries -- surrounded by the immense so told «ruSS "territory"» -- more than 4x _(four times)_ larger than the whole EU _(27 countries combined/summed up), _ and twice the size of US's, twice the size of Brazil, an 30x _(thirty times)_ larger than Ukraine's _(yet, with 3, 5x more population. Each ruSSian has nearly 19x more territory per capita than each Ukrainian!)._
This is the raw reality about who's who and who does what (..). History without stories is also a crystal-clear indicator and reminder.

If that was caused by anti-aircraft missiles we want some of them!
