Ukraine has agreed to transfer to Poland the technologies we need to counter drones

- the Polish official said.

At the same time, the parties are discussing deepening cooperation within the international anti-ballistic coalition, which focuses on intercepting missiles. The initiative includes Ukraine, Poland, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Poland joined the alliance in September and is ready to strengthen it with P-18PL radar systems with an operating range of 2,000 kilometres.

These radars, which have an operating range of 2,000 kilometres, will be deployed in Poland and will serve the interests of Poland, NATO, Ukraine and the coalition as a whole. But another, and probably the most important, issue is the development of a missile—a missile capable of intercepting another missile. This requires the involvement of the capabilities of various companies and different countries

- the Polish Deputy Minister of Defence noted.

In addition, the participants in the talks plan to discuss the establishment of a specialised maintenance centre for PAC-3 missiles for Patriot air-defence systems.
