#Polen #Poland a very naive question: can a missile change course to make it seem its from somewhere else?
@RyuukaShinrai In practice, this is very difficult to achieve for distances of hundrets of kilometers, because missiles with that reach usually have a predictable trajectory. Some missiles, like hypersonic missiles can be maneuvered during the flight, but these are extremely expensive and hard to produce, so their use alone give a hint of their origin. Furthermore, in some cases missiles can even be traced from space.
@Oliver25493862 thanks for clarification. They say it might have been Ukrainian air defence which seems plausible if one missed its target and went astray close to the border. There have been strikes in the west just before the incident after all.
