2023-02-09
According to Reuters, the Pentagon said on the 7th that the State Department of the United States had approved an agreement worth up to US $10 billion, which might sell long-range missiles, rockets and launchers to Poland. It is reported that Poland has been investing heavily in the realization of military modernization and donating older weapons to neighboring Ukraine to counter Russia. The package includes 18 sets of "Seahorse" launchers, 45 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles with a range of 185 miles (about 297 kilometers) and more than 1559 guided multiple rocket system (GMLRS) rockets. It is reported that the United States rejected Ukraine's request for ATACMS missiles, and Poland could not transfer any missiles to Ukraine without the approval of the United States. The Pentagon Defense and Security Cooperation Bureau informed the US Congress of the potential arms sale on the 7th. The Pentagon said: "The proposed arms sale will enhance Poland's goal of upgrading its military capabilities, and further strengthen Poland's synergy with the United States and other allies." Previously, Poland obtained the license to purchase 116 M1A1 "Abrams" main battle tanks and 250 M1A2 main battle tanks produced by General Dynamics of the United States in 2022. In addition, the Russian Sputnik News Agency reported on the 8th that, according to earlier reports, due to the situation in Ukraine, the US foreign arms sales last year increased by nearly half compared with the previous year. The State Department of the United States said that in fiscal year 2022, the United States sold weapons worth 51.9 billion dollars, compared with 34.8 billion dollars in 2021. (Outlook New Era)
