Poland is preparing to purchase Tomahawk missiles with a range of 1,850 km.
Poland is negotiating with the United States for the purchase of RGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles. This was announced in Warsaw by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Władysław Kusiniak-Kamish after returning from Washington (video).
"The negotiations on Tomahawk cruise missiles are progressing very well," the minister said.
According to him, the visit to the United States lasted less than 28 hours and brought, in addition to progress in negotiations on long-range missiles, 2 other results:
The Pentagon approved the permanent presence of American troops and the establishment of an American military base in Poland.
An agreement was signed for cooperation in the defense industry.
The tomahawk is a purely offensive weapon; The purchase of the missiles is in line with Warsaw's plans to create capabilities to deliver long-range precision strikes.
This direction was included in the "Big Seven" plan for the rearmament of the Polish Army, submitted by the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army, General Wiesław Kukola.
We are considering several options for tomahawk carriers.
The most likely are 3 new multipurpose frigates of Project 106, built under the Miecznik ("Sword") program. They are equipped with American-made Mk 41 universal vertical launchers in a mecha length version, which allows them to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Well, it is known who the Polish leadership sees as the main enemy.
