Poland Signs $735 Mn Missile Contract With US
Warsaw last week announced an agreement with the US for the delivery of a USD 960 million airspace reconnaissance system
Poland has signed a USD 735 million contract with the US for the supply of JASSM-ER missiles, Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Tuesday, as the country spends heavily to bolster its armed forces since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Warsaw is spending around 4 per cent of its gross domestic product on defence this year and last week announced an agreement with the US for the delivery of a USD 960 million airspace reconnaissance system to monitor the northeastern borders.
"Today we have signed a contract worth USD 735 million, another multi-million dollar contract, for the purchase of air-to-surface missiles," Kosiniak-Kamysz told a news conference on Tuesday.
The missiles have a range of around 1,000 kilometres, according to the defence ministry.
