Belgium is set to strengthen its defense capabilities by acquiring 200 to 300 Piorun man-portable air defense systems from Poland. The agreement, outlined in a letter of intent signed by Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken and Polish Defense Minister W?adys?aw Kosiniak-Kamysz, also includes training equipment and support services. However, the deal does not specify financial details or delivery timelines. Produced by Polish defense company Mesko, the combat-tested Piorun system has been deployed in Ukraine to counter low-flying aircraft, helicopters, drones, and missile threats from Russia.
