“This is another meeting with concrete results - the initiation of new investment. These facilities are intended for the United States Air Force. Namely, Combat Aviation Brigade equipped with Apaches, and stationed here in Powidz"- said Mariusz Błaszczak, Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of National Defense during his visit to Powidz.

We are here with minister Guido Crosetto, a great friend of Poland. Minister Guido is also my personal friend in the group of ministers of defence of NATO and European Union countries. Our Polish-Italian alliance is the strongest it has ever been. It is thanks to the Italian Air Force that the operation on the night of September 9 and 10 this year - the operation of combating Russian drones - could succeed. The Italian Air Force, taking part in the Air Policing mission, had a hand in reconnaissance and sharing information. Without Italian planes, Italian pilots, it would have been impossible. I have thanked for it during today's meetings in the name of the Polish nation, all our soldiers and citizens of Poland - said the deputy prime minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz after meeting the Italian minister of defence. The deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz visited Rome on 7 November, where he has met with Guido Crosetto, minister of defence of Italy.
