An agreement for military industrial collaboration between Israel and Poland is to be signed Wednesday during a meeting in Warsaw between Israel's Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and the Polish Economy Minister, Jerzy Hausner.
According to the plan, Poland's ground forces will be equipped with 2,765 Israeli missile and 264 personal launchers over the next 10 years, at a total cost of about $255 million.
The missiles will be sold in two models: personal launcher and a vehicle-mounted one, Haaretz reported. In addition, the Polish army intends to mount the launchers on armored cars manufactured in Finland.
Mofaz signed an agreement for strategic dialogue between Israel and Poland in his meeting in Warsaw Monday with Poland's Defense Ministry, Jerzy Szmadjdzinksi.
Mofaz and Szmadjdzinksi signed the agreement at the end of the meeting, and Mofaz invited his colleague to visit Israel. Mofaz later visited the landed forces headquarters, and delivered the first Israeli produced LR Spike anti-tank missiles, which were purchased by the Polish army, through an industrial collaboration with the Mesko company of the Bumar group.
