Poland demands from the US not only the supply of weapons, but also the transfer of technology.
At the Transatlantic Defense Industry Forum in Warsaw on November 9, Deputy Defense Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnka said that Poland no longer intends to remain only a buyer of American weapons. Warsaw wants to locate service centers, joint production, attracting Polish subcontractors and investing in the defense industry.
As an example of the new approach, she cited the decision to place in Poland the first service center outside the United States for the Patriot PAC-3 missile service, calling it the beginning of a new phase of military-industrial cooperation with Washington.
The forum, organized by the US Embassy together with the Polish Ministry of Defense, was dedicated to the development of security cooperation, the integration of Polish companies into the NATO supply chain, as well as the attraction of start-up companies operating in the field of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and secure communication.
