Polish Deputy Minister of Defense did not accept the price of American Patriot

118
The price at which the United States agreed to sell the Patriot air defense and missile defense system (air defense / missile defense) to the Patriot (in the PAC-3 + configuration) is unacceptable for Warsaw, which will seek a downward revision, the deputy minister of the national defense of Poland Bartosh Kovnatsky.

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 price was a surprise for us. This price is really unacceptable for us, even taking into account the significant financial resources allocated by us for the technical modernization of the Polish Armed Forces. We simply cannot afford to spend so much money on the purchase of two batteries [in the configuration of the PAC-3 +] and missiles
- declared Kovnatsky

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

    For that kind of money, you can also defraud the SAM systems yourself. It’s just how much the battery costs for an X. ALK.2 battery.
    They can cooperate with dill by technology, they themselves have pennies.
    They wanted to do something like R-27-based air defense systems in cooperation. With such amounts, something can be harder to issue.

    Patriot batteries totaling $ 10,5 billion (37 billion zlotys). Warsaw, as the weekly noted, is ready to spend no more than 30 billion zlotys (about $ 7,5 billion) for these systems.

    Why do they need patriots?

    Well, at least in order to exchange obsolete Soviet systems for something newer. They have few options. French Aster-30 or American Patriots. What would you choose?

    Quote: DEZINTO
    But the experience of Japan shows that rockets above these "patriots" fly only on the road ... just like some sort of passage yard, even though there are these complexes even if they aren’t, the rockets snoop around without straining! )))))

    Tell me, comrade! If you give a shotgun in your hands, the same Saigu. for example, can you shoot down at least the AN-24 flying at an altitude of, for example, 300 meters? Or would you prefer an anti-aircraft machine gun type ZPU caliber 14,5 mm for these purposes? That's the same with missiles over Japan. The ceiling of the Patriot missile defense modification is about 20-25 km. How can it be used to bring down a rocket flying at an altitude of 400 km? You don’t think that what is needed here is not a shotgun (Patriot), but an anti-aircraft machine gun installation (Standard SM-3 Block IIA). Nevertheless, it is worth distinguishing between complexes at least according to their performance characteristics and purpose. Don't you think that?

    Why buy something that can’t bring anything down? wassat lol

    Even the modification "Patriot PAC-1" of the 1991 model at least knocked down the old Soviet SCADA. Why are you so sure that he can not bring down anything ?? Oh, I guess what the matter is. This is an American complex

    I remember recently in a thread about Polish aviation the Poles were called dynamically developing solvent and practically prosperous in general. They even started a dispute over GDP. Well, here's a good example of you, that beautiful figures of GDP do not mean the availability of money in real life. Especially for the arms market. Especially for weapons made in the USA.
    For reference, back in 2016, Poland was preparing to buy 8 (eight) Patriot batteries and dreamed of spending no more than $ 3 billion on everything about everything.

    In this case, the "Polish Patriots" must be assembled on an individual project. Radars have 360 ​​degree visibility, completely different SkyCeptor missiles ...

    The invoice issued by Washington, as Kovnatsky indicated in his interview, was an unpleasant surprise for Poland.

Really did not know the gentry that fairy tales about the “Russian threat” would cost them in the golden mountains? The United States is not the Soviet Union giving away its weapons to you.

    demand determines the offer, the Poles refuse the deal, and the Yankees themselves will start to lower the price of their shooters, which today are not as good as they are trying to advertise, for example, this is a hit by the Hussites against the Saudis, the petriots openly slapped the Hussites racket ...

    Here recently, the Hussites from Yemen launched a Scud missile in the Saudi capital. The missile flew 610 miles, the warhead hit the airport. The Saudis of the time had a sea, they launched at least 4 Patriots. Missed all. Who cares about the details and who knows English - here is a link to an article from the New York Times

    The same thing is happening now with the Saudis .. with the same skads.

    But they shot down? And as one comrade correctly said on one of the branches, maybe it’s not in the arms, but in the hands? The fact that the Saudis is unimportant (although we don’t know absolutely nothing about how much was launched by them, how much they brought down, the expense) may be due not to the “Pariot”, but to the squinting exploiters of it. I'm afraid to vang, but even the S-400 can show itself, let's say so shitty in the hands of the Saudis.

    I, comrade, are worried about Poland’s budget expenditures, for example, the water temperature in the La Plata river in Argentina. Well, that is absolutely nothing. They are soaked in twice as much. I’m talking about the fact that you don’t have to see everywhere only the political motive and say that the same “Patriot” will not be able to bring down anything (solely because it is American). Yes, the first modifications in the early 90s sucks coped, but coped. And when they start to write "they can't bring down anything" - It smacks of hatred. And hatred as a result ends badly. One sometimes wants to ask, but did our S-300 take part in any military operations at least once? Can we talk about him that he "knocks everything down."

    The US military openly said that our air defense is a sieve, it will not protect anyone. They handed over to the Poles - the main contract was signed on the purchase, now they will pay for the exhaust pipes. So they need to, and America will be paid, not where they will not go, they themselves requested this trash. They will give them instructions - if a conflict wakes up, the Poles immediately jump under the table. Such instructions were received by Japan and South Korea, now do not be afraid to live in peace.
