Poland has received political approval from Washington to establish a permanent U.S. military base, with the Ministry of National Defence identifying Greater Poland and Lower Silesia as the two primary candidate locations.<\/p>\n
Deputy Minister of National Defence Cezary Tomczyk confirmed that negotiations for a permanent U.S. base in Poland have been ongoing for several weeks. The Ministry is set to appoint a dedicated negotiation team within the coming days to manage the multi-year process of establishing a permanent American military footprint.<\/p>\n
The Ministry has identified Greater Poland and Lower Silesia as the most likely locations, though other sites remain possible. Poland has already invested billions of zlotys in logistical and military infrastructure in the western part of the country to facilitate potential NATO support.<\/p>\n
Addressing recent controversy, Tomczyk stated that Germany played no role in Poland\u2019s transfer of Patriot missiles to Ukraine. The operation was coordinated by the NATO Secretary General and U.S. military command in Europe.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Minister characterized the transferred missiles as a marginal portion of Poland’s inventory, noting that the U.S. has provided assurances regarding resupply in the event of a national security threat. Furthermore, Poland is working toward co-production and maintenance capabilities for these systems through a multi-national agreement involving the U.S., Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
Poland has invested approximately 65 billion dollars in U.S. equipment and maintenance facilities to date, with plans to spend an additional 150 billion dollars in the coming years. Warsaw intends to leverage this infrastructure to become a central service and co-production hub for military equipment in Europe.<\/p>\n
Regarding the potential transfer of Polish MiG-29 fighter jets, Tomczyk indicated that the deal is not off the table. Poland remains willing to provide the aircraft if Ukraine offers advanced drone technologies in exchange, provided that the modernization costs are not borne by the Polish taxpayer.<\/p>\n
