Now we can see why Poland wants missle defense:

Over the last few days Russia has fired over two dozen SS-21 Ballistic Short Range Missiles into the country of Georgia, integrating ballistic missile strikes with their conventional military forces. The SS-21 is a road mobile, solid fuel, single stage ballistic missile, which is maneuverable in flight and carries a high-explosive warhead weighing up to 1060lbs. with 150 meter accuracy. It has a range of 43 miles. These missiles have been used by the Russians tactically for psychological and military targets as the Georgians do not have the capability to defend against or defeat ballistic missiles.

Whole story here. From the same source, the photo to the right shows the remains of an SS-21 missile fired at the Georgian city of Gori.

To the left is a "before" picture of a SS-21 Scarab. The Russians used these in Chechnya as well, so we shouldn't be too surprised. Still, this overreach on the part of Putin almost guarantees the introduction of missile defense to the former satellite states.
