Sweden plans to deploy Patriot missile defence systems to eastern Poland to help protect a NATO logistics hub supplying weapons to Ukraine, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said, according to UNIAN’s account of a Reuters report.
The operation is due to begin in December and involve about 100 personnel from a Swedish air defence unit in Halmstad. Kristersson did not specify how many Patriot systems would be sent.
He said the Patriot and Gripen deployments were intended to protect a NATO logistics hub at a Polish airport. UNIAN’s report did not name the airport.
