Poland plans to modernise its missile defense system in a $3.7 billion project, which is expected to be completed in 2013. Polish President, Bronislaw Komorowski during the submission of the bill to the parliament, said, “This bill is key to ensure stable funding for the modernisation program, which has been described as the highest priority for the Polish Armed Forces in the coming decade”. Currently there are six missile battalions armed with obsolete Soviet-made S-125 Neva (SA-3 Apollo) missiles in the Poland’s defense system. The new system would stand alongside U.S. missile defense facilities, becoming part of NATO’s broader air and missile defense system.
