Yeah I think this is the most likely explanation, like surely he knows he can’t win but he is a symbol that there is still opposition to Putin.

This is probably inevitable now that Turkey gave in. With two obstructionists they could point at each other, but once you’re the last one still blocking, you’re singled out as the asshole.
Not necessarily. NATO military tech can track rockets in real time and project a destination. If you can see a missile is headed for a sparsely populated area and unlikely to inflict casualties, then you are better off letting it go. To intercept the missile is to demonstrate your defensive capabilities. Right now, Russia is likely in the dark about that. Unclear whether showing their hand is strategically the right move for Poland.
For now.
