Polish army to buy more Piorun anti-aircraft missiles

The Defence Ministry will increase an order for the man-portable Piorun surface-to-air missiles owing to the weapon proving its effectiveness in the Russia-Ukraine war. The system is produced by the Polish company Mesko. On Thursday, Mariusz Blaszczak, the defence minister, signed an annex to a purchase contract from 2016, which increases the number of Piorun anti-aircraft missile systems ordered for the Polish Army.
