Overview
- Deputy defence minister Cezary Tomczyk says initial capabilities are due in roughly six months with full deployment within 24 months.
- Most financing will come through the EU’s SAFE defence loan programme, supplemented by state budget funds.
- The multilayer network will combine drone-jamming and other electronic warfare with radar-guided guns, cannons, missiles and clustered machine guns integrated with existing border defences.
- Special logistics hubs will be built in every border municipality to store equipment that can be deployed within hours to block crossings.
- Officials cite the September drone incursion that closed airports and drew a fighter response, while warning no system can fully stop sustained mass attacks and some weapons are reserved for wartime use.
