Warsaw is developing a multi-layered air defence system.
A Polish unit armed with American Patriot air defense systems is fully ready for deployment and will become the backbone of the Polish Wisła air defense system, Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced, calling the readiness a historic moment.
Delays in procurement have meant that Polish air defenses are unable to ensure the safety of our skies for no longer than a week. And that's without combating drones.
A Polish unit armed with American-made Patriot missile defense systems has reached full readiness, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz announced on Thursday. At the same time, the minister said, the Polish Wisla air defense system, which is supposed to be able to shoot down air targets up to 150 kilometers away, has also become fully operational.
The Patriot system has reached full readiness in the 3rd Air Defense Missile Brigade. This event marks the culmination of the implementation of the first phase of the Wisła program. US Ambassador to Poland Thomas Rose, who attended the ceremony, emphasized that even his country lacks an integrated air defense system like Poland.
