7 UK Air Defence Group to provide an update on Sky Sabre at Air and Missile Defence Technology 2022

LONDON - Aug. 19, 2022 - PRLog -- Earlier this year, the UK deployed a ground-based air defence system – Sky Sabre, to Poland along with 100 troops. The Sky Sabre missile system can target fighter jets or incoming smart bombs and will be kept in Poland with British troops to operate it. The deployment helped shore up NATO's eastern flank bordering Russia in a defensive measure. *
