ENHANCEMENT OF POLISH AD SYSTEM – chain of command

ENHANCEMENT OF POLISH AD SYSTEM – Lessons Learned

No incidents influenced airspace and public security.

Air Force Fighters & AA Helicopters – key assets in AD system

and the most effective deterrent and means

of air threats counteract.

Enhancement of Polish AD System – very profitable and useful

training event for Task Forces designated to AD System.

Law regulations do not correspond with

the potential and possible air threats.

Thank you

for your attention
