In a strategic move aimed at strengthening Poland’s defense capabilities along its eastern borders, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has announced the establishment of a new helicopter base in the town of Świdnik, eastern Poland.
The announcement was made during a meeting with local authorities on Monday, where a letter of intent was signed, marking a significant step towards the realization of this defense project.
The initiative seeks to provide a permanent base for the Polish land forces’ helicopter units.

The establishment of the new helicopter base is not only a military endeavor but also an investment in the local communities. Such initiatives are expected to bring about economic benefits to the region in addition to enhancing national security.
Management of the site will involve collaboration between city and region authorities and the Military Property Agency, ensuring that the project aligns with both national defense objectives and local development goals.
The decision to establish a helicopter base in Świdnik is a clear indication of Poland’s proactive stance in securing its borders and preparing its military forces for any potential challenges. By investing in critical infrastructure and training, Poland aims to ensure a permanent presence of both allied troops and its own armed forces in strategically important regions.
