Blaszczak added that the Sky Saber unit, operating in the Polish theater, safeguards the headquarters in Rzeszow, from which aid to Ukraine is coordinated and dispatched.
Public reporting indicates that the United Kingdom placed the Sky Saber system in Poland in 2022, positioning it as part of the broader Western security framework in eastern Europe.
