       #Poland someone found an unexploded air-to-ground missile in a forest near Bydgoszcz, which is a town just in the middle of the country.[^1]International media[^2] in the best clickbait style promptly reported it had “writings in Russian”, but somehow forgot to mention that 1) Polish army still uses Soviet-made weapons (yes, with symbols in Cyrillic), 2) there’s a military airport nearby, 3) even the original Polish media report explicitly says “unofficially we found out this is our own missile”.Taken together this boils down to a not at all sensational case of an unexploded ordnance found near military training ground 🤷‍♂️[^1]: https://www.rmf24.pl/fakty/polska/news-rmf-fm-o-znalezisku-w-lesie-pod-bydgoszcza-to-pocisk-powietr,nId,6743172#crp_state=1 [^2]: https://meduza.io/en/news/2023/04/27/journalists-say-unidentified-aerial-military-object-found-in-polish-forest-is-missile-with-russian-writing

       @kravietz I saw the headlines and it immediately felt like clickbait, this confirms it. Why must journalists be so irresponsible for money's sake?
