Officials caution that some deliveries may slow, potentially affecting readiness and coordination with allies. More official clarifications are expected in the coming days.
Delays in the delivery of military equipment from the United States due to events in the Middle East could affect Poland’s defense sector.
According to Vladyslav Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence of Poland, during a broadcast on ZET radio he noted that cooperation with the American side is ongoing, but signs of possible delays in certain areas are emerging. He added that the delays should not be too noticeable, but they may occur and affect Poland.
Moreover, according to him, restoring production capacities in the United States and Europe will take a significant amount of time – unfortunately, years, not months.
