***The thing is, the S-300 system, from which the errant missile originated, is an anti-aircraft/anti missile defense system.

True, but...
(From Wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-300_missile_system
“...On 8 July, the governor of the Mykolaiv Oblast, Vitaly Kim, claimed that Russia has been using S-300 missiles in a land attack role by fitting them with GPS guidance and that some 12 missiles were fired this way. On 30 September, The Wall Street Journal reported that 16 Russian S-300 missiles configured for ground attack struck near Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 30 civilians and wounding 50 others. Debris from S-300 missiles was found after having struck buildings in Kharkiv on 8 October. Analysts from McKenzie Intelligence Services and the Center for Strategic and International Studies said that these missiles were likely from Russian systems repurposed for ground attack due to dwindling stock of more precise dedicated anti-surface missiles...”
If the Russians can configure their S300 missiles into a ground attack configuration, then I think that the Ukrainians can too.

The missile fell just short of these grain silos in Poland, could they have been the actual target?

You’re right. We need to consider the sources for the confirmation that Russia fired the missiles. The Wall Street Journal is now a well-known lefty rag. McKenzie Intelligence Services and the Center for Strategic and International Studies are both populated with mostly young people without credible military or intelligence experience. Forbes Mckenzie is the founder of MIS and served in the British Army for 10 years. He recruited some of his former British Army friends to work in his company. He has a Bachelor of Science in Geography with a specialization in … climate change. Mckenzie’s Commercial Director, Emma Dunlop came to MIS after 11 years working as a buyer in the retail sector for Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer. Louise Jones is their Head of Intelligence and served seven years in the British Army as an Intelligence Officer. After leaving the Army, she was an investigative journalist and subsequently moved to finance.
CSIS has similar demographics in its company and had this to say recently “Despite Ukraine’s retaking of Kherson, there are growing calls for Ukraine to end the war through peace talks with Russia. But the conditions are not yet ripe for peace. The United States should continue to aid Ukraine by providing more arms and economic support.“
It appears to me that these companies are populated with cutouts and have been created to advance a particular narrative, probably by Soros or the WEF.
Still, Poland is way beyond the reach of the S-300 from territories controlled by Russia. And why would they use them when they have more appropriate weapons for the task?
Besides, there have been numerous attempts of Ukraine to blame Russia for using them when their own missiles hit their own buildings after failing to intercept actual Russian missiles. I tend to believe the Russians over anything the Ukraine “leadership” or our mockingbird media proclaims. They haven’t told the truth in a long time. Why would they start now?
