A new report suggests a Norwegian or Dutch F-35 may have fired a missile that struck a house in Wyryki during a Russian drone attack.
Initial Reports and Contradictions
On the night of September 9–10, Russian drones attacked Poland, with one object crashing into a house in Wyryki. Initial findings indicated the building was damaged by a drone, but “Rzeczpospolita” later reported that a Polish F-16’s AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, intended to intercept a Russian drone, malfunctioned and struck the house instead. On September 24, Radio Eska unofficially claimed the missile may have been fired from a Norwegian F-35, while Onet reported it was likely a Dutch F-35.
Three Missiles Fired?
“Rzeczpospolita” revealed that three air-to-air missiles were fired in defense against a Russian attack near Wyryki, though it remains unclear whether the threat was from drones. The source stated that only in Wyryki was the decision made to use missile strikes, targeting confirmed threats. It is possible one missile came from a Dutch F-35, which was primarily conducting reconnaissance.
G7 Statement on Airspace Violations
The G7 countries expressed concern over Russian drones and fighter jets violating Polish, Estonian, and Romanian airspace in a joint statement by foreign ministers. The meeting, held during the UN General Assembly in New York, also discussed further sanctions against Russia and the use of frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s defense.
