Poland has the industrial capacity to manufacture PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems on its territory and is open to defense-industrial cooperation with Ukraine.
Poland is prepared to begin manufacturing PAC-3 interceptor missiles for the Patriot air-defence system on its own territory and is ready to work with Ukraine on the venture.
Pawel Zalewski, Poland's deputy minister of national defence, announced the readiness on 27 August following a session of NATO's North Atlantic Council. He said Warsaw already possessed the necessary industrial capacity to start producing the interceptors locally. The PAC-3 missile is the interceptor fired by Patriot batteries that Western allies have supplied to Ukraine.
The proposal points to deeper Polish-Ukrainian defence-industrial cooperation and could help ease missile shortages for the systems Ukraine uses to defend cities and critical infrastructure against Russian air attacks. If realized, joint production could reduce resupply delays and strengthen Ukraine's layered missile defence.
Zalewski did not disclose a production timeline or indicate whether formal talks with Kyiv had already begun. The statement aligns with Warsaw's wider effort to expand its domestic arms industry while increasing support for Ukraine within NATO.
