According to the Polish Ministry of Defence, the agreement includes Belgium’s planned purchase of between 200 and 300 Polish-made portable air defence systems, known as Piorun. These systems are designed to counter aircraft, helicopters, drones, and missiles.
The declaration was signed during a visit to Mesko, the Polish defence company responsible for manufacturing the Piorun systems. Highlighting their proven track record, Kosiniak-Kamysz noted that Pioruns have demonstrated their effectiveness in Ukraine.
In addition to the purchase of air defence systems, the agreement also addresses training cooperation between the two countries. This collaboration is particularly focused on the F-35A fighter jets that both Belgium and Poland have recently acquired.
Belgian and Polish pilots are currently undergoing joint training in the United States as part of this new initiative. The move reflects a strategic alignment of military capabilities and readiness between the two nations.
During their meeting, the ministers also discussed the broader scope of bilateral military ties, cooperation within the European Union and NATO, and their continued support for Ukraine.
