WARSAW, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Wednesday he had asked Germany to send Patriot missile launchers offered to Poland to Ukraine. "After further Russian missile attacks, I asked Germany to have the Patriot batteries offered to Poland transferred to Ukraine and deployed at its western border," Blaszczak wrote on Twitter. "This will protect Ukraine from further deaths and blackouts and will increase security at our eastern border." On Monday Poland said it would propose deploying additional Patriot missile launchers near its border with Ukraine, following an offer from Germany. Berlin offered Warsaw the Patriot missile defence system to help secure its airspace after a stray missile crashed in Poland last week.

WARSAW—Polish army engineers began building a razor-wire fence across the country’s 130-mile border with Russia, the latest country in Europe’s east to construct such a barrier, in what Poland’s government described as a bid to prevent Moscow from encouraging asylum seekers to cross overland into the European Union. The fence will span the entire length of Poland’s border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak told reporters Wednesday. The construction began, he said, in response to concerns that Moscow would seek to encourage asylum seekers to fly into the exclave and enter the EU via the Polish border.

Dronele Bayraktar TB2, dintre care primele urmează să fie livrate anul viitor, vor fi înarmate cu proiectile antitanc.Polonia va cumpăra, de asemenea, un pachet logistic şi de instruire, a declarat ministrul apărării Mariusz Blaszczak.Blaszczak a declarat pentru postul naţional de radio că dronele Bayraktar TB2 ''şi-au dovedit eficienţa în războaie'' şi a adăugat că dronele vor fi întreţinute de o companie militară, fără a da alte detalii.Contractul, care va fi încheiat fără un proces de achiziţie publică, va fi semnat săptămâna viitoare, în timpul unei vizite a preşedintelui polonez Andrzej Duda în Turcia.Autorităţile din Turcia, ţară membră NATO, spun că ţara a devenit al patrulea mare producător de drone din lume de când preşedintele Tayyip Erdogan a crescut producţia internă pentru a reduce dependenţa de armele occidentale.Compania turcă de tehnologie de apărare Baykar a vândut drona sa armată Bayraktar TB2 în Azerbaidjan, Ucraina, Qatar şi Libia.Erdogan a declarat în martie că Arabia Saudită este, de asemenea, interesată să cumpere drone turceşti.În aprilie, Canada a eliminat permisele de export pentru tehnologia dronelor către Turcia, după ce a ajuns la concluzia că echipamentul a fost folosit de forţele azere care luptă împotriva Armeniei în enclava Nagorno-Karabah. Piesele aflate sub embargo includeau sisteme de camere pentru dronele armate Baykar.
