🇵🇱🇺🇸🛡 Polish Minister of Defense Mariusz Blaszczak signed offset agreements with the American companies Raytheon and Lockheed Martin providing for the production and repair of elements for the Wisla national medium-range missile defense system.
The total value of the contract is about $250 million. In accordance with it, a production and repair base for Wisla system facilities, including LTAMDS Ghost Eye radars and PAC-3 MSE missiles, will be created in Poland.
The signed agreements also concern the acquisition of additional capabilities for servicing F-16 and C-130 aircraft. In addition, Poland will receive competencies and licenses for the production of fuel for HIMARS MLRS missiles, as well as competencies related to PAC-3 MSE missiles for the Wisla system. To service these systems , a new repair and production base will be created in the country.
📌 Offset agreements are a long-term supply contract. Offset means compensation provided by the supplier to the customer in the form of subcontracts of counter trade or investment obligations.
In other words: Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are expected to invest part of the proceeds from the contract into the Polish economy. Probably, this will be realized through the construction of industrial enterprises.
