The Polish Ministry of Defense has ordered the repair of Soviet short-range anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) "Osa". The combat readiness of Soviet weapons will be maintained until the creation of new missile defense systems (air defense). This is reported by Defence24.

The contract for the repair of the SAM was awarded to the company of the PGZ consortium (Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa). The contract value is 100 million zlotys (about $24 million). The agreement provides for the execution of works until 2023.

The company will repair 9A33BM2 combat vehicles of the 9K33M2 Osa-AK complexes. The publication notes that the Polish armed forces have been using the Osa air defense system since the 1980s. The complex on a wheeled chassis allows for the protection of troops on the march.

Subsequently, the Soviet complexes will be replaced by promising air defense systems, which are being developed within the framework of the Narew and SONA projects.

Earlier, Britain and Poland signed an agreement on joint work on the Polish Narew air defense system. The Polish development can receive ammunition based on the British CAMM (Common Anti-Air Modular Missile) missile.

In October, Poland compared the portable anti-aircraft missile system Piorun with the Russian "Willow". The publication Defence24 noted that the range of the Polish complex exceeds 6.4 kilometers.
