- Live-fire exercises, for the first time in Poland's history, on Polish soil with Patriot systems; we are building a multi-layered air defense. We are starting with the very short-range program, Pilica+, then the Narew program, and finally the Wisła program - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a statement to the media at the Central Air Force Training Ground in Ustka.

- A very important element was the purchase last year of the IBCS system, a system that serves as the operational brain of the entire air defense, it is integrated, and Poland is currently the only user of this system outside of the United States - he continued.

- Today's exercises are meant to demonstrate capabilities for operation and integration, but also lead to the full certification of troops responsible for the air defense of the Polish state. [...] Today marks a milestone in incorporating additional units of equipment into operational capabilities, including both HIMARS and Chunmo launchers, which will soon be fully operational with the Polish Army - he went on to say.
