The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, Marcin Kierwiński, announced that the first elements of the drone countermeasures system on the border with Belarus were installed on an observation tower near the city of Krynki in the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
A radar was installed on an observation tower over 70 meters high. This is the first element of the radar system, which will eventually be installed on four other towers that have already been built.
According to Kierwiński, the radar will be launched in January. In the first phase, this system will detect, locate, and track objects approaching from the east. It will also be able to neutralize these unmanned devices.
The readings of this system will be available in Białystok, at the electronic surveillance center for the border barrier with Belarus, as well as at border posts.
The new system was entirely developed and manufactured by Polish enterprises.
