Poland is set to finalize a $2 billion agreement with the United States for the logistical support of its Patriot missile defense systems, according to Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz. Speaking to Polsat, Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasized that air defense remains the largest investment in the Polish Armed Forces, underscoring its strategic significance in protecting national airspace.

"Air defense is the biggest investment in the Polish army, requiring the largest funds," he said. "This is the protection of the Polish sky, this is within Polish airspace—so it is an absolute priority for us and it is very good that there is Polish-American cooperation in this area."

The announcement marks another step in strengthening defense ties between Poland and the United States. In December, the U.S. extended a $4 billion loan to Poland aimed at boosting the country’s armed forces. With the new Patriot systems deal, total U.S. military support for Poland now stands at $11 billion.

This growing collaboration reflects Poland's ongoing efforts to modernize its military capabilities amid regional security concerns. The Patriot system is a cornerstone of NATO's integrated air and missile defense strategy, and Poland’s investment signals a firm commitment to alliance readiness and deterrence.

The agreement also highlights the U.S.’s continued role in supporting allied defense infrastructures, particularly in Eastern Europe. As Poland continues to expand its defense partnerships, the Patriot missile system support deal is expected to enhance interoperability and long-term strategic alignment between the two nations.
