A new MBDA missile logistics facility was opened in Czosnów, Poland, on 7 September 2026, according to a UK Ministry of Defence press release of that date. Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry Luke Pollard MP attended alongside Polish Deputy Minister of National Defence Paweł Zalewski. The ministry said UK personnel would work with Polish counterparts at the site, which is intended to enable faster and more direct maintenance, support and training for Poland's PILICA+ programme, described as a multi-billion-pound project building an integrated air defence network.

The ministry said the facility's development would support jobs in Bristol, Stevenage and Bolton, with more than 400 UK MBDA staff working on programmes supporting Poland's defence. It also cited the UK-Poland NAREW programme, worth more than £4 billion, intended to deliver over 1,000 air defence missiles and more than 100 launchers to Poland, and the MIECZNIK programme, in which the UK is co-developing three Arrowhead-design frigates. The ministry said the broader relationship followed a Security and Defence Partnership Treaty signed in May 2026.
