Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Only half a speed-brake
Most here have heard of the Baykar drones.

There was a Aux Regt Squadron at Waddington that operated them during the 1980's and early 1990's.

When you look at it that way…..
"US spending of 5.6% of its defense budget to destroy nearly half of Russia’s conventional military capability seems like an absolutely incredible investment."

Whether you accept the argument or not, there is a larg3 community who will forever believe it was a Russian missile and a cover-up.
Everything about the Przewodow missile strike weapon effects is consistent with a 150km(+) flight Russian land attack modified 5V55K aimed at Ukraine's power interconnect with Poland fired from Belarus.

I wonder why the blast versus fragmentation warhead point hasn't received more prominent attention in the media?

Most doubts are because of the 159Km range, interestingly later mx had ranged up to 250Km, bringing it within range of deployed RU systems at airfields within Belarus.
Recent flights into Belarus have, reportedly, been removing S-300 SAM Mx, doesn’t mean they haven’t been replacing them with SSM warheads to target Polish-Ukraine logistics, otherwise why not remove the launchers as well?

Germany to offer Poland Patriot system after stray missile crash
BERLIN, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Germany has offered Warsaw the Patriot missile defence system to help it to secure its airspace after a stray missile crashed in Poland last week, Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht told a newspaper on Sunday.
The German government had already said it would offer its neighbour further help in air policing with German Eurofighters after the incident, which initially raised fears that the war in Ukraine could spill across the border.
“We have offered Poland support in securing airspace - with our Eurofighters and with Patriot air defence systems," Lambrecht told the Rheinische Post and General Anzeiger.

Russia appears to be trying to drag Belarus into their war, judging by the amateur balls ups of the past I doubt they can imbibe a sense of credibility.

I think that some western governments are thinking "job done" and that it's only a matter of time before Putin is no more, either as a person or as a leader. Applying the brakes, even lightly, is actually going to give him all the time he needs to strengthen and go again. Plenty of historical examples of taking the pressure off and then regretting it!

Can one of you military experts tell me what these explosions are. Are they star shells to illuminate the ground or something more sinister like white phosphorus?
