(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, AUG 12 - Poland signed Monday a contract
to build 48 launchers for the US-designed Patriot air and
missile defence systems to boost Warsaw's military capabilities.
The eastern European country has accelerated the modernisation
of its armed forces after Russia began a full-scale invasion of
neighbouring 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. (ANSA-AFP).
