Poland has declassified new details of its military assistance to Ukraine, revealing for the first time the full range of equipment transferred since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, including Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles.
According to Defence24 on July 6, the information was presented during a special press conference by Poland's Ministry of National Defense, which published previously classified data covering military aid delivered in 2022–2023, as well as additional donations made since 2024.

However, the ministry yet did not disclose the quantities of equipment transferred.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said the government had begun a systematic process of declassifying decisions related to military support for Ukraine.
He noted that the information released so far is only partial and that additional details may be made public in future stages.
According to the ministry, Poland provided military equipment worth an estimated 14.9 billion zlotys (approximately $4 billion) during 2022–2023. The assistance included:
T-72, PT-91, and Leopard 2A4 tanks;
Rosomak armored personnel carriers, BRDM reconnaissance vehicles, and BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles;
Krab self-propelled howitzers, 2S1 Gvozdika artillery systems, BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket systems, and 120 mm and 60 mm mortars.

The package also included Warmate loitering munitions, FlyEye reconnaissance drones, MiG-29 fighter aircraft, Mi-24 attack helicopters, S-200 and S-125 air defense systems, Osa air defense systems with missiles, KUB surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft systems including the ZSU-23-4 Shilka and ZSU-23-2, as well as tank, artillery, and mortar ammunition, GROT, PKM, AKMS, and SVD rifles, and individual soldier equipment.
Since 2024, Poland has supplied an additional estimated 1.55 billion zlotys (approximately $415 million) in military aid. The newly disclosed assistance includes PAC-3 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems, a ScanEagle reconnaissance drone system, various types of missiles, aerial bombs, anti-tank guided missiles, grenade launcher ammunition, and spare parts and equipment for aircraft, armored vehicles, and Neva air defense systems.
The package also contains additional tank, artillery, and mortar ammunition, along with personal equipment for Ukrainian troops.
The declassified list formally confirms for the first time that Poland transferred PAC-3 interceptor missiles used by Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. According to the Ministry of National Defense, Poland is one of only six NATO members that operate Patriot systems equipped with PAC-3 missiles.
The disclosure comes as Ukraine continues to press its allies for additional Patriot interceptors following Russia's latest large-scale missile and drone assault, during which Ukrainian air defenses were unable to intercept any of the ballistic missiles aimed at Kyiv.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged NATO members, particularly the United States, to leave this week's summit in Ankara "with strong decisions" on strengthening Ukraine's air defenses.
“As long as missiles for the Patriots remain in allies' warehouses, this only encourages Russia to continue 'defeating' residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror,” he added.
