Poland Plans To Transfer Several Patriot Missiles To Ukraine - Media Reports
According to the publication, the number of missiles is small. The Polish side has not disclosed the exact number or other details of the upcoming transfer.
General Ireneusz Nowak, commander of the Polish Armed Forces' Operational Command, confirmed to Rzeczpospolita that the number of missiles that may be transferred to Ukraine has already been determined, but this information is classified. At the same time, he emphasized that this is not a large-scale transfer of missiles.
According to the publication, the issue of transferring missiles to Ukraine is being discussed with NATO allies, particularly the United States.
As the publication notes, Poland would like to receive drone and missile technology in exchange for transferring weapons to Ukraine, but the matter has“reached an impasse.” General Novak noted in a comment to Rzeczpospolita that Warsaw could transfer Soviet-era weapons to Kyiv-weapons that are still in service with the Polish army and could be very useful to Ukraine, even if they require major repairs.
The Polish Ministry of Defense also told the Polish publication that Poland is preparing another aid package for Ukraine, the scope of which is determined by Poland's security and the available resources of the Polish Armed Forces. The ministry noted that the package will include weapons and equipment that are being phased out of service by the Polish Army or will no longer be used by it, but could be useful to Ukraine. Detailed information about the contents of the package is classified.
