The Pentagon stated that establishing a centre for the maintenance, repair and technical support of missiles directly in Europe “will drastically reduce turnaround times and secure critical supply lines”, reports Voice of America. It added that “the regional centre will significantly strengthen the operational readiness of the allies’ air and missile defence forces”, thereby bolstering collective deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank.
Citing the Polish Ministry of Defence, the publication notes that Germany, the Netherlands and Norway also vied for the opportunity to host the PAC-3 maintenance centre.
“Poland sought to secure these capabilities and infrastructure on its territory,” Voice of America quotes the country’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk as saying, who noted that Poland was competing “with several ambitious rivals” on this issue.
