Poland Secures Multi-Billion Dollar Missile Deals with Norway and US

Poland has signed a $2 billion deal with Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace to purchase "several hundred" Naval Strike Missiles, along with command vehicles and missile launchers. The contract aims to enhance Poland's coastal defense capabilities along the Baltic Sea. Deliveries are scheduled between 2026 and 2032, and Polish defense companies will collaborate with the Norwegian business in supplying the weapons. This deal marks the largest single contract in Kongsberg's history. The move comes as several regional countries, including Latvia, are bolstering their naval strike capabilities in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
