There was some resentment about the offer of the German Patriot anti-aircraft system for Poland. In the meantime, an agreement has been reached. Three systems are now being relocated. First soldiers set out today.
The Bundeswehr begins relocating its Patriot air defense system to Poland. The first soldiers should set off today with their vehicles from Bad Sülze (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), as the German Press Agency learned from security circles. In the coming days, the weapon systems will also be relocated to the neighboring country. A total of three squadrons are to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure of the NATO ally near the border with Ukraine.
After a missile hit Polish territory in November, Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) and her Polish counterpart Mariusz Blaszczak agreed that German Patriot missile defense systems would be relocated to Poland. In the meantime, Blaszczak caused considerable upset in Berlin because he suggested stationing the Patriots better in Ukraine. It is now clear that three fire units will come to Poland after all. In addition, Germany will also deliver a Patriot anti-aircraft system to Ukraine to help the country defend itself against Russia.
