Ukraine has agreed to share its drone countermeasure technology with Poland to strengthen defenses against aerial threats, according to Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk told RMF24.

Tomczyk, who is visiting Kyiv with Major General Karol Domanowski, First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, said that both countries are working toward a final agreement to send two Polish MiG-29 fighter aircraft to Ukraine in return for access to Ukrainian technology used to develop and intercept unmanned aerial vehicles.

Beyond the aircraft exchange, bilateral talks in Kyiv focused on deepening defense collaboration within the broader anti-ballistic coalition aimed at advancing missile interception capabilities.

The coalition includes Ukraine, Poland, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands.

Poland formally joined the defense coalition in September and intends to strengthen the network by deploying P-18PL radar systems on its own territory.

These radar units feature an operational detection range of up to 2,000 kilometers and will support defense operations for Poland, NATO, Ukraine, and the entire coalition.

Tomczyk emphasized that the critical next objective remains the joint development of interceptor missiles capable of destroying incoming hostile missiles, a task that requires combined technical capabilities across multiple defense companies and partner nations, RMF24 reported.

On September 16, Poland was preparing a new military support package for Kyiv valued at €50 million ($57 million) aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s aerial capabilities against Russia’s full-scale invasion.

According to Polish Deputy Defense Minister Stanisław Wziątek, the assistance centered on aviation equipment and specialized ammunition for F-16 fighter jets, primarily focusing on air-launched munitions to intercept and neutralize incoming strike drones.
