"I confirm - Germany has expressed a preliminary willingness to acquisition Piorun, and we should be arrogant of this, due to the fact that it shows how innovation in the Polish defence manufacture affects the perception of us in the planet and the interests of our country." - Tomczyk said. He noted that he could confirm this information on an unofficial basis for now, as the substance "needs to be finalized."
