Moscow, April 19 (Interfax) - The Polish foreign minister has said there will not be a delay in the deployment of U.S. Patriot interceptor missiles in Poland.
Speaking to Russia Today television, Radoslaw Sikorski said the missiles could be deployed within several weeks and neighboring states would not need to worry about the exclusively defensive systems.
Patriot interceptor missiles are a compact tactical anti-aircraft weapon, which has nothing to do with global missile defense systems.
Some analysts thought the deployment of the missiles would be pushed back following the April 10 plane crash in western Russia that killed Poland’s President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and high-ranking Polish officials.
