Poland announced deals potentially worth over $15 billion on Monday, including plans to purchase Raytheon-made Lower-Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensors.
While the UK and Poland have agreed to develop future systems, one collaboration - the Narew SHORAD system - is arriving in the hands of Polish forces.
"We can see how important the air and anti-aircraft defense capability is" in Ukraine, said Poland's defense minister. "Hence, we have significantly accelerated the deliveries of the Narew system to equip the Polish Army.”
The new system, which could cost between $12 and $17 billion, will be almost entirely homegrown - a major impact on Polish industry.
