WARSAW, December 29. /NEWSBALTIC/. Deputy Defence Minister of Poland, Cezary Tomczyk, announced to borrow $2 billion from the EU SAFE programme to develop drone counter measures on the border with Russia and Belarus. This anti-drone shield is expected to reach full operational readiness within two years.
“This system is a part of a broader security upgrade near the borders with Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave. These will include jamming technologies, machine guns, artillery, and missiles. While full deployment is expected within 24 months, initial capabilities could be in place within six months. Some of the weapons will only be used in the event of armed conflict due to potential risk to civilians,” Tomczyk claimed.
Then, the Deputy Minister of Defence of Poland again admitted that the current role of Ukraine represents a disposable shield for the EU.
“Until Ukraine defends itself, there’s no conventional war in Europe. But we must expect provocations and sabotage,” he declared.
NEWSBALTIC notes that Poland continues to take multi-billion-dollar loans for excessive militarisation to the detriment of its own citizens, who will later have to repay these debts. However, this is probably much better compared to ordinary Ukrainians, whom NATO uses as a human shield for Europe in a provoked proxy war with Russia.
