Poland does not rule out delays in delivery of weapons purchased from U.S.

Delays in the delivery of U.S. military equipment due to the situation in the Middle East may also affect Poland.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense of Poland, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, on Radio ZET.

“We are in contact with the American side, and there are indications that delays may occur in certain areas. They shouldn’t be very noticeable, but they could still happen and could also affect Poland,” Kosiniak-Kamysz noted.

When asked whether this would take weeks or years, he replied that restoring American and European production capabilities takes “unfortunately, years, not months.”
