00:00The operational commander of the Polish Armed Forces, General Ireneusz Nowak, suggested
00:06that the Tu-95MS strategic bomber, which crashed that same day in Russia, could be the same
00:13aircraft that launched the Kh-101 cruise missile that fell in the Lublin Voivodeship on the 30th
00:20July.
00:21The Polish general published his statement on social media X while commenting on the news of
00:26Russian missile carrier accident in the Amur region.
00:30Analysts noted that Nowak rarely makes public statements, so the
00:34The mere fact that he made this comment is revealing.
00:38In his post on the social network X, Nowak wrote that "it is possible that this copy
00:44It was the carrier of the X-101 that ended its flight near Tarnawa."
00:49The message was a response to a report about the bomber crash, first reported by
00:54once by a social media user.
00:56The aircraft in question crashed during takeoff on September 29, on a flight
01:02training.
01:03"It is possible that this specimen was the carrier of the X-101 that ended its flight near Tarnawa,"

01:27Recently, a Russian Mi-8 helicopter entered Polish territory from Kaliningrad, penetrating
01:33about 300 meters and remained in Polish airspace for 42 seconds before averaging

01:40The Polish army explicitly described the incident as another Russian attempt to put

02:09Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gaukowski described the incident as sabotage.

02:55As a result, Warsaw's response now becomes considerably more difficult.
03:01And starting in October, Poland will modify its air defense procedures.
03:05Hostile aerial objects will no longer necessarily require visual identification before
03:10of being neutralized.
03:12Instead, commanders will be able to rely on combined information, such as traces
03:17radar, trajectory, speed, penetration into restricted airspace
03:22and identification data, with the direct purpose of reducing the time between detection
03:27of a potentially hostile object and the authorization to destroy it.
03:31A Tu-95MS strategic missile bomber crashed on September 29, near
03:38the town of Krasnoyarovo, in the Russian Amur region.
03:42According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the aircraft was conducting a training flight
03:47and it was flying without ammunition.
03:48There were seven crew members on board; six died and one was injured and taken to a
03:54hospital.
03:54The cause of the accident has not been officially determined.
03:59A commission from the Aerospace Forces was sent to the site to investigate.
04:04Russia regularly uses this type of aircraft to launch cruise missiles against
04:09Ukrainian territory, including the KH-101.
04:14Nowak's theory about the possible connection of a specific aircraft to the incident in
04:19Poland remains speculative and has not been officially confirmed by Poland.
