Polish Deputy Minister of Defense did not accept the price of American Patriot
In November, the DSCA Defense Security and Cooperation Agency announced that the US administration had decided to sell Patriot batteries to Poland for a total of $ 10,5 billion (ZNUMX billion zlotys). Warsaw, as the weekly noted, is ready to spend no more than 37 billion zlotys (about $ 30 billion) for these systems.
The invoice issued by Washington, as Kovnatsky indicated in his interview, was an unpleasant surprise for Poland.
This deal, as previously reported by DSCA, also provides for the acquisition by Poland of four AN / MPQ-65 radar stations, four fire control points, 16 launchers and 208 anti-aircraft guided missiles to the Patriot PAC-3 + system.
Bargaining over the price for this “package” is, according to the weekly, one of the goals of Kovnatsky’s visit to the US capital this week, TASS reports
