Washington has revised the plans on building the missile-defense system in Poland and comes out with a new proposal for Warsaw. Thus, the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile (SAM) system will bear atomic warhead instead of nonatomic – as was planned, Stanislaw Komorowski, Undersecretary of State for Defense Policy at the Ministry of National Defense of Poland, told ITAR-TASS on returning from the United States.

According to him, the proposal will be in focus during Poland-American negotiations in October.

Komorowski proposes U.S. to build Standard Missile 3 logistical support bases and control stations on Polish territory. SM-3 is being developed as part of the US Navy’s sea-based ballistic missile defense system and will provide theater-wide defense against medium and long range ballistic missiles.

The new details of U.S. missile-defense plans became known in mid September. Barack Obama said September 17, he had decided to accept the advice of U.S. Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, for a “smarter, stronger and swifter” interceptors to be sited in Poland. American side maintains the air defense system can be integrated into the Poland’s air defense system.
