Poland is champing at the bit so hard that they will attack themselves, like a parrot getting bored and eating its toe.
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.
NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
