(Kozei => Retired Polish General Stanislaw Kozei)

If true, I suspect that this was cleared through the Polish Government and Defense Establishment.

In that case, it would be a warning to the Russians that the Poles are not amused with Russian threats, nor with Russian missiles landing close to the border.

And also a trial balloon for the rest of NATO.

The Poles have done this on a number of occasions since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And often succeeded in getting their way.
