Poland Is Ready To Jointly Produce PAC-3 Missiles For The Patriot System With Ukraine

Warsaw wants to manufacture missiles on its own territory.

Poland has the necessary production capacity to manufacture PAC-3 interceptor missiles for the Patriot systems and is ready to consider the possibility of joint production with Ukraine. Officials in Warsaw emphasize that future European production capacity should, above all, help strengthen Ukraine’s air defense.

According to "European Truth", this was stated by Poland’s Deputy Minister of National Defense Pawel Zalevsky in Brussels on the sidelines of a NATO North Atlantic Council meeting attended by U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Eldridge Colby.

According to Zalevsky, Poland is among the countries that have already declared their ability to deploy production of PAC-3s—interceptor missiles for Patriot systems—on their territory.

“Poland is one of the countries that has declared its capability and readiness to produce PAC-3s on its territory. We view the production of PAC-3 munitions in Europe as an important step toward strengthening European security,” he said.

Zalevsky explained that establishing additional production capacity outside the United States is important not only for European allies but also for the United States itself. According to him, there is currently a clear shortage of production capacity to manufacture the necessary number of interceptors.

At the same time, Warsaw does not view future production as competition with Ukraine or other European countries.

“We do not want to compete with the Ukrainians, the Germans, or anyone else. Therefore, if it were possible to establish some form of cooperation between companies or between countries—that would be good,” Zalevsky emphasized.

Warsaw states that production should primarily help Ukraine
The Polish official separately emphasized that increasing the production of Patriot missiles should contribute not only to strengthening the air defense of NATO countries.

According to him, one of the main recipients of the additional interceptors should be Ukraine, which regularly uses the Patriot system to defend against Russian missile attacks.

“This production should undoubtedly support not only NATO but also Ukraine—perhaps Ukraine first and foremost,” Zalevsky said.

He did not rule out various formats for future cooperation—in particular, joint production between Poland and Ukraine or broader cooperation involving Germany.

“It’s important that we have our own capabilities and expertise, and we’d like to join this production effort. And if it turns out that this will be together with the Ukrainians, or with the Germans, or with both the Ukrainians and the Germans—that’s fine. Because we don’t want to compete; we want to strengthen our security,” the deputy minister explained.
