Poland deploys anti-drone defense system along Belarus border

Polish broadcaster RMF24 reported the information.

Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration Marcin Kierwiński announced that the first components of the anti-drone system have been installed on an observation tower near the town of Krynki in Podlaskie Voivodeship, on the border with Belarus.

A radar was installed on the observation tower, which stands over 70 meters tall. This is the first element of the radar system that will ultimately be installed on four other towers that have already been built.

According to Kierwiński, the radar will become operational in January. In the first phase, this system will detect, locate, and track objects approaching from the east. It will also be able to neutralize these unmanned devices.

The system's data will be accessible in Białystok, at the electronic surveillance center for the border barrier with Belarus, as well as at border posts.

The new system was entirely developed and manufactured by Polish companies.
