Poland’s Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced that Warsaw will establish a national center dedicated to applying Ukraine’s battlefield experience, alongside a newly formed unit within NATO’s Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC) in Bydgoszcz. His comments were reported on September 24 by Eurointegration, citing the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
“The development of the drone industry in Ukraine is extremely impressive, and its implementation in the army deserves our respect and use. Therefore, within NATO structures we have created a unit in the NATO–Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre, in order to introduce this experience at the level of the entire Alliance,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said during a conference on strengthening Poland’s defense.
He added that a national center for “implementing Ukrainian experience” is also being created.
The minister stressed that Ukraine’s war-time innovations offer lessons that NATO members should adopt. “Ukraine is today the most experienced state in the Western world in the production and use of drone systems. It is from its experience that we will particularly draw.”
JATEC, inaugurated on February 17, 2025, is designed to capture and analyze operational lessons from Ukraine’s war and provide training support across the Alliance, according to NATO’s Allied Command Transformation and Poland’s Ministry of National Defense.
Kosiniak-Kamysz has linked this effort to a wider drone cooperation framework between Poland and Ukraine, focusing on joint projects and skills development.
Earlier, it was reported that NATO opened the Joint Analysis, Training, and Education Center in Bydgoszcz, Poland, to study Ukraine’s wartime experience and feed lessons into Alliance training and strategy.
