Poland Sees No Delay in Patriot Systems
Poland has not received any indication that deliveries of U.S.-made Patriot air defence systems will be delayed, Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said. His remarks come amid broader concerns in Europe about potential disruptions to American weapons supplies due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Recent reports suggested that the United States had warned allies such as the UK, Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia about possible delays in arms deliveries as the conflict involving Iran strains military stockpiles. However, Polish officials clarified that such concerns have not affected the timeline for Patriot systems, which are considered vital for missile defence.
Kosiniak-Kamysz noted that while delays in other military equipment cannot be ruled out, they are unlikely to be significant enough to cause serious concern. Earlier, he had cautioned that a prolonged conflict in the Middle East could impact the supply of U.S. defence systems to countries including Poland and Ukraine.
