US sending Patriot air defenses to Poland
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US says it is sending two Patriot air defense batteries to Poland to help protect the NATO ally and its own troops from the threat of Russian missile spilling over from the war in Ukraine.
“This defensive deployment is being conducted proactively to counter any potential threat to U.S. and allied forces and NATO territory,” the US military says in a statement, according to the New York Times.
Ukraine has pleaded with NATO and other Western countries for air defenses, but has been rebuffed by fears of donors being targeted by Russia in retribution.
