The U.S. has chosen Poland as the European maintenance center for PAC-3 Patriot missiles, investing €227 million. This facility aims to reduce repair times for these crucial interceptors, which are vital for Ukraine's defense against Russian missile attacks. The Pentagon confirmed the decision, emphasizing transatlantic cooperation and signaling NATO's unity against potential adversaries. Poland's proposal outperformed those from Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway. The center will be the only one of its kind outside the U.S., with full operation expected within a year. Poland hopes this initiative will lead to local production of Patriot missiles.
