What makes you so certain it's Russian provocation?

Logic was erstwhile a strong domain of Poles. So let's get to the logical side of the drones, based on the information we have. Logic indicates that they were Russian drones, but fired from Ukraine.

On 10 September 2025, respective Russian drones flew from Ukraine to Poland. Russia was immediately accused of attacking. This situation has triggered extended diplomatic repercussions and has been interpreted as further escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which is now expanding to Poland. In fact, drones did small harm due to the fact that they had no explosives and no 1 was killed or injured due to it. Let's approach the drones logically, based on the information we have.

1. The drone has limited range. All drones found in Poland are Gerber's multi-purpose drones, utilized for reconnaissance and signal transmission. Their scope is 300-600 km, although any drones had additional tanks, extending the scope to 700-900 km. According to the map of the drones provided by Ukraine, they were to be launched from the Russian areas behind Ukraine. From these areas to Poland, the distance is about 1000 km (e.g. from the town of Sumy in Ukraine close the Russian border to Rzeszów is 1052 km by land road). Simple logic indicates that Gerber's drones, even those with additional tanks from Russia, could not scope Poland. Further consideration of the subject of flight dimension I urge to military experts.
2. Linking a drone raid to a military operation. Information about the raid of drones on Poland appeared on the Ukrainian map of the Russian drone attack on Ukraine, on which there were drone flight tracks. any of these tracks indicated a flight to Poland. During the 10 September morning attack, Russia utilized modern drones equipped with powerful explosives and capable of precise recognition of targets. Meanwhile, Gerber's drones, which arrived in Poland, did not have an explosive charge and they service for exploratory purposes, possibly for information noise. So in no way does it match Russia's attack to this kind of drone. It seems to be a intellectual operation. As if individual wanted to link the Russian attack, which utilized hundreds of rockets and drones for combat purposes and destroyed many objects in Ukraine, with the passage of drones to Poland.
3. Operation of the false flag. Operation of the false flag (false-flag operation) is an effort to mislead the public to believe that the another side of the conflict committed aggression, while in fact it was not, and thus justify military action or another repressive action against this party. All indicates that Russia's accusation of sending drones to Poland is an operation of a false flag, due to the fact that 1 can ask the basic question: "Why would Russia do that?" specified an operation brings no advantage to Russia, and in contrast exposes it to attacks by politicians and agitated public opinion. For this it brings benefits to Ukraine, which, at the alleged "Russian provocation", breaks down political capital, spoils even more Polish-Russian relations and tries to bring Poland into conflict.

It is time for politicians and experts to repeat the course with logic and cool the emotions before speaking besides hasty courts. Of course, firing a twelve drones from Ukraine to Poland would not be a problem, as any of Gerber's drones were in Ukrainian hands. How can you be so certain that the incidental was a provocation from the Kremlin? I guess it's due to the fact that uncovering out the fact who fired the drones can prove very uncomfortable for many people. I urge that you verify the information provided.
