The Americans are planning to buy Piorun anti-aircraft missile systems from Poland. Mesko, a company belonging to the Polish Armaments Group, has completed negotiations on the delivery of several hundred Polish missile systems.

Mesko positively concluded negotiations with the US Department of Defense for the purchase of Pioruns, and the American order will ultimately include several hundred missile systems that will be delivered overseas later this year.

Dr Eng. Przemysław Kowalczuk, a member of the management board of Mesko for development emphasized that the conducted negotiations and a contract are another element of the export offensive of Polish Armaments Group.

Piorun systems are the most modern very short-range weapons used by the Polish Army. They play a key role in the air defense system against helicopters, aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. The system is infrared-guided and can fight various types of air targets – both during the day and at night – at a distance of up to 6,500 meters, as well as at heights from 10 to 4,000 meters.

Mesko’s CEO, Elżbieta Śreniawska, emphasizes that the Grom and Piorun missile systems are an important element of the company’s core business. Both products have their export versions, and the interest of potential foreign customers is growing rapidly.

Śreniawska confirms that without neglecting the needs of Mesco’s main recipient, i.e. the Polish Armed Forces, the company is gradually developing the export segment. Currently, it is conducting several sales proceedings for both types of rockets, where there are really good chances for success.

The Piorun system will also be delivered to Ukraine to support its defense abilities against the Russian threat.
