According to the US Air Force Magazine on the 14th, a small airport in the southeast of Poland, only 62 miles from the Ukrainian border has been transformed into an international logistics hub, and aircraft transporting military supplies and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine can land here, and this airport is protected by the US air defense system .
Military aircraft and cargo planes from the United States and Europe have quickly landed, unloaded and taken off here.

The report mentioned that after Russia stated that it would regard any convoy that transports weapons to Ukraine as a "reasonable target of attack", the United States deployed a series of air defense and anti-missile system in Poland, including the "Patriot" to protect this crucial airport and cargo transfer center. camouflage network covers command and control points scattered everywhere, and strategically deployed military equipment on the hills even though several miles away.
Polish Air Force official Ireneusz Nowak told Air Force magazine through a video interview in Warsaw that "this is a balanced risk. We have been on the brink of NATO , so we realize that we are facing a full threat from the northeast direction", referring to Russia's military positions in Kaliningrad and Belarus . "We can't afford to lose the war in Ukraine."
reported that Russia's heavily guarded Kaliningrad enclave is located between Poland and Lithuanian , where advanced S-400 air defense missile systems are deployed. Eastern Poland borders Belarus, which allows Russia to deploy troops and equipment within Belarus to prepare for an attack. If Russia wins in Ukraine, almost all Poland's eastern border areas will be under the control of the Russian army.
Novak said, "If Ukraine loses this war, it will be very dangerous for us and NATO, because by then Russia will be closer to us." Therefore, Poland has set up an important logistics hub for Ukraine. Novak said the Rzeshov Airport, located in southeastern Poland, is currently a hub for providing military or humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
Novak pointed out that although he believes that the possibility of Russia's crackdown on logistics hub facilities in NATO countries is "very low", it is necessary to prevent this. He said, "In the most pessimistic situation, yes, they can hit us. That's why we have to build the entire defense system at this critical location in Poland." The
report pointed out that although Poland purchased the Patriot air defense system from the United States, it is expected to be delivered until later this year. "The U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army actually stepped in and they brought the Patriot system to Poland," Novak said. "This place is actually well protected." (Editor: HHJ)
