Poland in talk on stationing US army equipment

Poland’s government is in talks with the US on deployment of US heavy weaponry on Polish territory, Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said Sunday. “The US. is preparing a set of various measures, and among them the placement of heavy weaponry in Poland and other countries will be very important,” said Tomasz Siemoniak. “It’s relatively easy to move soldiers. It would be good, however, if the equipment was near the area of potential threat.” According to the Ministry of National Defense websites Poland is being one of the counties considered for the deployment of US heavy armament in Eastern Europe, others being Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and perhaps Hungary. The armament will include tanks and infantry fire trucks.
