Poland is champing at the bit so hard that they will attack themselves, like a parrot getting bored and eating its toe.
Sounds about right. (please forgive the link to the other place)

in this case, it seems that the target was supposed to be towed decoy, but somehow missile locked on plane instead
Task failed successfully
Yeah isn’t that a win?
Depends, did you engineer the decoy or the missile?
Imagine engineering a missile that hits decoys. All the other missile engineers would laugh at you.
I’m sure it would hit other things, but prioritizing fusing on decoys would be pretty funny.
polish armed forces not beating allegations of competence
they also managed to burn down a leopard, during training. no, they weren’t shot at
what happened was that gunner loaded a main gun shell, but wasn’t supposed to. so he tried to extract it, but it broke, and because there was already some shooting that day, propellant fell on bucket of hot stubs, igniting immediately. it was decided that it was fault of ammo that was not up to spec. (2015)
they also managed to burn down a 2S1 at the same training ground two years before
I assume it was a TPK? :(
Loader died month later, the rest was burned but survived. Driver went home the same day. Ammo used was past expiry date
We all make mistakes in the heat of passion Jimbo.
