The United States announced on Thursday that they have approved the sale of anti-tank grenades Javelin to Poland, the contract with a value of $ 780,000,000, AFP reports.
“The proposed transaction will support the foreign and national security policy of the United States, strengthening the security of a NATO ally representing a political and economic stability force in Europe,” the American Defense and Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said.
The US State Department has approved the transaction and DSCA has sent a notification to the American Conngress, which will validate the decision.
For fear of Russian threat, Poland has launched in recent years a rapid modernization program, signing several armament purchase contracts, mainly with the United States and South Korea.
Poland will build over 800 tanks and stimulate the national weapons industry
Poland will allocate 4.8% of GDP next year for defense expenses, in slight increase in the percentage of 4.7% allocated for the current year.
