Zalewski on the PAC-3 servicing center in Poland: We will be earning

The Polish Deputy Minister of National Defense emphasized the significance of a new maintenance facility for Patriot missile systems in Poland, which will enhance operational readiness and reduce downtime. This facility, expected to be operational by 2027-2028, will service missiles for both Poland and other European users, minimizing the need for transport to the U.S. for repairs. The project aims to establish a business model for servicing missiles in Europe, with potential future production of PAC-3 missiles in Poland remaining a goal. Discussions regarding a permanent U.S. military presence in Poland are ongoing, with decisions anticipated by early next year.
