Poland’s Patriot Missile Deliveries Delayed by Iran War

Poland’s operational commander says U.S. deliveries of PAC-3 MSE interceptors for Patriot air-defense systems will be delayed, with possible delays to other contracted weapons, including HIMARS. He said the impact extends to the Baltic states and reflects U.S. commitments and pressure on weapons supplies amid conflicts in other regions. Separately, the U.S. ambassador to NATO said the Ukraine-focused PURL program remains unchanged, while acknowledging delays in deliveries—especially air-defense systems—and efforts to find available stockpiles and expand production.
