[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NATO has a sophisticated ground based radar system along the Polish-Ukrainian border. They also have AWACS and satellite monitoring. The data is fed into the NATO defense system in real time. NATO almost certainly was able to track the missile in real time and the information was available to Polish military before the Russian attaché was summoned in Warsaw.

Did Duda act precipitously? We don’t know. What we do not is that the missile strike occurred while Russia was launching up to 100 cruise missiles and other munitions at Ukrainian population centers. So one might be inclined to cut Zelenskyy and his command structure a little slack after 10 months of carnage. It’s also understandable the reasons they seek to keep Western pressure on Putin by highlighting the indiscriminate use of munitions against civilians.

The US maneuvered quickly to calm the situation. Either way, it remains clear NATO has no desire to invoke Article 5, particularly over an errant Russian missile if that is proven to be what happened. The world will know more in a few days. Meanwhile we can take some comfort in the measured diplomatic response from Biden and other NATO leaders. It is yet another indication that any future military escalation would be proportionate and non-escalatory. This comports with NATO’s initial response to the special military operation, which was to mobilize the NATO Response Force (NRF) and implement a series of collective defense and deterrence measures in accordance with Article 5.
