Polen opent langverwachte Amerikaanse raketafweerbasis

November 14, 2024 - The United States has opened a new air defence base in Poland. Dubbed “Aegis Ashore”, the facility at Redzikowo is part of a broader NATO missile shield.

At a time when Donald Trump’s election victory has caused jitters among some NATO members, Warsaw says the continued work on the base by successive U.S. presidents shows Poland’s military alliance with Washington remains solid whoever is in the White House.

The Kremlin on Wednesday called the base a bid to contain Russia by moving American military infrastructure nearer its borders, Reuters said.
