Poland militarization: Warsaw will receive advanced Aargm-ER missiles against enemy air defense (video)

This contract for $ 745 million was the most important event in the process of modernizing the Polish military-air forces and strengthening strategic ties with the United States. On January 28, the Minister of Defense of the country Vladislav Kosinyak-Kakysh announced. The decision to acquire these weapons systems is connected with geopolitical tension in Eastern Europe and Poland's desire to strengthen its military potential on NATO's eastern flank.

And the integration of Aargm-ER missiles will enable the Polish Air Force to increase the ability to effectively neutralize hostile air defense systems, which is a key factor for successful air operations. The military emphasizes that these missiles will provide Poland with the possibility of high-precision blows at the level of NATO's leading military-air forces, which strengthens the country's position as an important player on the Eastern Alliance.

In addition, Warsaw ordered the fifth generation F-35 fighter jets for their Air Force-the first party was expected at the end of 2024. The AGM-88G AARGM-ER rocket from Northrop Grumman is the latest development of the Harm anti-radiolocation missiles, which begins in the 1980s. At this time, it is considered one of the most modern weapons systems for suppression and destruction of enemy air defense.

The new version has an improved range, maneuverability (at a speed of 2 Mach) and adapted technologies for modern combat conditions. AGM-88G has an enlarged body diameter (290 mm versus 254 mm in predecessors), which made it possible to place a more powerful engine and improved equipment. The key benefits of the rocket: AARGM-ER purchase is part of the wider Warsaw strategy to strengthen its military potential.

Against the backdrop of preserved threats from Russia, Poland demonstrates a commitment to the modernization of weapons and strengthening defense opportunities to increase restraint and interaction with NATO forces. It should be reminded that against the background of exacerbation of the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe and the war in Ukraine, the land troops "Polish troops" increase the potential thanks to the K2 Black Panther tanks, the American M1 Abrams and the German Leopard 2A5.
