Poland is significantly bolstering its border security and air defense capabilities amidst growing tensions with Russia and Belarus. The Polish government has announced an investment of $2.5 billion to fortify its borders with these neighboring countries. Additionally, Poland has signed a contract with the European Investment Bank worth $326 million to join the Sky Shield Initiative, aimed at constructing a pan-European air defense system. Prime Minister Donald Tusk also revealed plans to secure a $130 million loan from the European Investment Bank for a satellite component of the 'European Iron Dome.' Furthermore, Poland has agreed to purchase a $960 million airspace reconnaissance system from the United States to monitor its north-eastern borders. The deal includes 4 reconnaissance aerostats worth USD 1 billion from Raytheon. In a collaborative effort, Poland and Greece have urged the European Union to create a common air defense shield to enhance continental security in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
