In the next few years poland will probably be the most heavily armed nation on the whole European continent.

Dang they are spending more money than the Saudis at this rate, are these the kind of patriots that can deal with drones?

Why would anyone spend multi million dollars interceptor for cheap drones?

PAC-3's main role is missile defence with excellent ABM as well as low flying cruise missile interception capability.

And MSE modification gives it superior anti aircraft capability as well.

For cheap drones you will need triple A guns. ( which can be easily procured )

It seems the Saudis have no way of intercepting them when their facilities were hit or where those triple A guns are at. Even a Ukrainian SAM ended up in Poland killing someone and they have those systems active.

Pac 3 MSE is İskander hunter.

I wish Ukraine to have.

 

[blackjack]

more like Iranian drones and misfired Ukrainian SAMs are patiot hunters. I dont think patriots has intercepted missiles with high G manuever capabilties AFAIK. If I remember correctly, I think Turkey dropped the patriot deal for S-400?

Poland will have the best air defence coverage in Euopre.

 

[MaciekRS]

Well, right now we have one of the worst air defence in Europe. We didnt even have S 300 that Ukraine has.

Poland signed a contract on Monday to build 48 launchers for the US-designed Patriot air and missile defense systems to boost Warsaw’s military capabilities.


The eastern European country has accelerated the modernization of its armed forces after Russia began a full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine in 2022.

According to the deal signed on Monday, the M903 launchers will be produced at Stalowa Wola steelworks in Poland and are expected to be delivered to the Polish army between 2027 and 2029.


“This contract strengthens Polish security,” Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz told reporters after signing the deal worth $1.23 billion."
