“The neighbourhood through the Baltic connects us not only geographically but besides with work for the safety of northern Europe,” said Pål Jonson, head of the Swedish MON. "We must be aware of the risks we are facing, hybrid threats and threats to critical infrastructure, including undersea infrastructure. This requires our fast and decisive response," added Swedish politicians.
– This is the minute where the strategical objectives for NATO and the European Union request to be clearly and clearly demonstrated. We can be even bigger leaders, as Poland and Sweden, in the defence industry, in the safety strategy and in Natowski activities," added the head of the Polish MON. In his opinion, Polish-Swedish cooperation develops in a model way, especially after Sweden's entry into NATO, and the geographical location and community of threats on the part of Russia make political cooperation both, military, as well as industrial is not only necessary, but besides necessary.
As an example, he has already given contracts to supply arms. Polish Army uses all day Swedish early detection aircraft Saab 340 AEW and Carl-Gustaf grenade launchers. Sweden is 1 of the countries to which Lightning was exported, portable anti-aircraft rocket kits manufactured by the Mansko. – From naval systems to anti-aircraft and cybersecurity, our cooperation takes place in all domain. The strong and competitive Polish arms manufacture is besides the interest of Sweden – the head of the Swedish MON argued.
The catalyst for cooperation may be Union SAFE mechanismlow-interest loans for defence investments will come from. The Polish minister recalled that the European Union will shortly anticipate closer cooperation between its members in the field of military equipment purchases. The aim of SAFE is to credit joint purchases of weapons produced in the EU. Only this year could a single state submit proposals. – We are open and we think Sweden is our natural partner. Like us, we are a natural partner for Sweden – Kosiniak-Kamish declared.
