Who Really Benefits From Europe's 'Iron Dome?' $4.3 Bn Missile Defence System Divides Poland | ESSI

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Europe must develop its own version of Israel-style Iron Dome missile defence system. Tusk said he and other European leaders would present plans for an Israel-style ‘iron dome’ defence network to the European Council and Commission "in a few days."
Tusk made the remarks at a press conference with European Investment Bank (EIB) President Nadia Calvino in Warsaw. The EIB announced that it would give Poland €300 million ($326 million) towards the creation of a satellite system.The satellite system is expected to be integrated into an EU-wide missile defence network eventually.
Tusk added that “the idea of pan-European air defence will become less and less a dream and more and more a real, practical plan.”

And who will pay? Poland??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ddelin100]

If they want to, why not ? Poland has a GDP of $844 Bn, and spends close to 4% on defence, so around $33 Bn/year.

Yes Poland has money this nation has a lot of natural resources Gold,Silver,Platinum, Titainum,Copper, Crude Oil,

How much money poland get from eu? They just take money like beggar zelensky

Good idea. Strong democracy. Good reporting. Thank you.

Israel had an iron dome😂

[@paveljerabek1472]

So 300 million euros is not a lot, it seems very little for what they want to build... But maybe for some... good "pocket money" and if it will be as functional as in Israel on October 7, then it is a waste of money

[@ragesmirk]

To develop a similar system to the Arrow 3, Europe needs 10 years in research and development.

[@whodaFru4551]

Not if they cooperate with Israel and US

[@TwiceStruck]

@@whodaFru4551 There's no corporation they have to buy a set amount of Patriot missile batteries, integrate across a finite network. Which began with US producing 75%-80% of the equipment. Europe is not benefitting long term, even Israel is getting rid of their Patriots for more of their own SAMs.

the world has moved beyond iron. they are now into steel and also some promising prospects of new tech like nano cable fibres.

The iron dome mid nonsense for these other countries just complete NONSENSE…

[@jtf2dan]

Thanks putin for being europes best recruiter for NATO and more defense systems money!

[@johnsch1988]

The money will go into the pockets of the military - industrial complex , and ordinary people will be left with higher taxes and a drop in the quality of life

[@jtf2dan]

@@johnsch1988 the military industrial complex MAKES money in export sales in the West....thus enriching the people with jobs and revenues and taxes. Only russia suffers from higher taxes (putin raised them last week!) and its industrial complex weapons, vehicles and ammo is all getting destroyed in ukraine and not sold for profit...so it takes away money twice as fast away from russia....speeding it towards bankruptcy and economic collapse!

More tax wasted

While they are planning about the iron dome russian is thinking how to counter it and when time come to deploy the dome russia has already know how to defeat it
