I’ll refine…but only a little bit…..Legitimate grey target.
The Poland incident……..might be Russia, might not …classic grey zone operation on a remote piece of infrastructure, that is difficult to attribute to the relevant actor.
A targeted attack on facilities in Stevenage, Belfast, Sheffield etc, on U.K. soil would be a lot harder to plausibly deny.
But as an ex-military individual, I thought you’d know that?
