Poland has signed a nearly $2 billion air defense deal with the US, reinforcing its role on NATO’s eastern flank amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
The agreement covers logistical support, equipment, and training for the Raytheon-developed Patriot air defense system, ensuring operational readiness against aerial threats such as tactical ballistic missiles and aircraft.
Warsaw previously acquired two Patriot batteries under the first phase of the Wisła program, part of its broader multi-layered air defense initiative. These batteries are equipped with PAC-3 MSE missiles and the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS).
with this latest acquisition, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged Washington to reconsider imposing tariffs on allies.
