Poland will continue developing the logistics infrastructure for the storage of NATO member states’ weapons.

Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of the country, announced this, the Ukrinform reports.

Several thousand units of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and other military equipment should be placed in those depots.

The continuation of the NATO depots deployment in the country will be discussed during Morawiecki’s visit to the USA.

“Together with our American partners, we will create a logistics base, a weapons base. Several thousand pieces of NATO military equipment will be stored in Powidz and other locations in Poland. This will make us much safer,” Morawiecki emphasized.

First of all, this regards equipment that will allow “quick activation of NATO’s eastern flank.”

“This possibility alone will deter our enemies,” the Polish Prime Minister emphasized.

At the beginning of April, a military logistics and equipment hub, which will receive thousands of units of military equipment, has been opened in Poland.

This is the largest infrastructure project financed by NATO and the United States in the last 30 years.

The LTESM-C center was modeled after U.S. bases. The center’s depots will store tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery, technical security vehicles, and self-propelled bridges. In total, approximately 2,700 weapons will be deployed, the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw added.

Implementation of the project took six years and cost NATO and the U.S. $360 million.
