Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak signed an agreement with French Minister of Defense Sebastian Lecornu, who is currently in Warsaw before a trip to Ukraine, to supply Poland with two observation satellites together with a receiving station, Polskie Radio reports..

Mariusz Blaszczak said that the satellites will complement and strengthen the capabilities of the Polish Army in the field of deterrence and early warning of threats, as well as find civilian applications..

“They are important not only for the military, but also for other needs, and will be used, for example, to prevent natural disasters, which is very important for firefighters.. And I am happy about this, that the opportunities will expand significantly in this way, ”said the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense..

According to the agreement, Poland will now be able to use images of French satellites. When Polish devices become operational, the monitoring area will increase for both Poland and France.

French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu stressed that it is important that Poland also have its own satellites, and not only use French devices..

In addition, the defense ministers of Poland and France discussed support for Ukraine.. The reconnaissance capabilities of the Polish army will increase thanks to surveillance satellites, because with them it will be possible to receive data with an accuracy of up to 30 centimeters.
