Poland announces arrival of Patriot system from Germany next week
Germany is preparing to transfer the first American-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system to Poland, which has been announced after the missile's fall in the village of Przewodów in Poland in November 2022.
Source: Informacyjna Agencja Radiowa (IAR) announced it on Thursday referring to sources, reported European Pravda
Details: German soldiers and the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system will be stationed in Poland's Lublin Voivodeship. The location is agreed upon with the Armed Forces Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces in coordination with the leadership of the Ministry of Defence.
Task forces from Germany have already arrived in Poland, and they are completing the final steps related to the arrival of the main forces that will operate the Patriot systems.
Approximately 400 Bundeswehr soldiers are to be stationed in Poland according to a decree signed by Andrzej Duda, President of Poland, earlier this year.
Background: The decision to provide Poland with three Patriot systems, along with the military to operate the systems, was made by Germany after the accident in the village of Przewodów in November 2022. Debris of the missile fell on the territory of Poland as a result of the missile attack on Ukraine launched by Russia, causing the death of two people.
In January 2023, it became known that Germany, following the United States, would supply Ukraine with an additional battery of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.
