Poland and Britain signed a three-year defence cooperation plan in Warsaw. Joint exercises, new military technologies and industrial links feature in the agreement, alongside continued support for Ukraine. It follows their earlier bilateral treaty, with ministers stressing stronger European capabilities together with the transatlantic alliance. The plan sets cooperation priorities rather than announcing completed equipment deliveries.
Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and British Defence Secretary Wes Streeting signed a three-year defence cooperation plan in Warsaw. Poland’s defence ministry and Polskie Radio reported that it covers joint exercises and capability development. The plan follows an earlier bilateral security and defence treaty. Support for Ukraine was among the first subjects discussed during the ministers’ meeting.[1], [2]
Kosiniak-Kamysz identified long-range precision strike, artificial intelligence, drones and counter-drone systems among the priorities. Joint exercises will also develop conventional military cooperation under different conditions. He cited the Miecznik shipbuilding programme and Narew, Pilica and Pilica+ air-defence work as existing joint projects. Ammunition production also features in the industrial relationship between the two countries.[1]
The ministers reaffirmed their shared support for Ukraine. Kosiniak-Kamysz argued for stronger European capabilities alongside a reinforced alliance with the United States. Streeting highlighted drone threats affecting Poland and NATO readiness. The countries aim to extend industrial ties while continuing military cooperation through the plan. These priorities do not constitute an announcement of a newly completed equipment delivery or an operational combat mission.[1]
