He added that this marks the start of the second phase of the Wis\u0142a air defense program. In its first stage, two system batteries were purchased.<\/p>\n<p>Deliveries of Patriot sets for Poland are scheduled for the end of 2022, and the initial operational readiness is to be achieved at the turn of 2023\/2024. In February, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Ministry of National Defense confirmed its intention to implement the second phase of the Wis\u0142a program, making decisions dependent on the results of the new radar for Patriot sets.<\/p>\n<p>Poland chose the Patriot system as the basis for the Wis\u0142a medium-range air defense program in April 2015. In April 2018, as part of the first of the two assumed phases of the Wis\u0142a program, it signed a contract for two batteries (16 launchers) worth $ 4.75 billion. The Polish systems will be armed with PAC-3 MSE missiles from Lockheed Martin. The sets for Poland will be integrated with the new Northrop Grumman IBCS battlefield management system, being developed for the American land forces.<\/p>\n<p>B\u0142aszczak announced that the Ministry of National Defense would soon announce inquiries regarding the purchase of HIMARS missile artillery sets with a range of 300 km, and noted that Poland would continue its military support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are strengthening Ukraine so that Poland will be safer. It is in Poland&#8217;s interest that Ukraine is free\u201d, emphasized the minister and added that Ukrainians, while defending their independence, defend freedom in Europe and freedom in Poland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of National Defense Mariusz B\u0142aszczak on Tuesday stated that Poland would buy six more Patriot batteries. \u201cThis is the second stage of the construction of the Wis\u0142a air defense&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":18879,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.4 -
