Poland has formally requested to purchase US-made Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles and their launch systems.
Defence24 reported this, citing Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
According to the minister, Warsaw submitted the request several months ago.
Poland has already received a positive preliminary response from the United States. “Everything looks good. The Pentagon has issued a positive recommendation,” said Kosiniak-Kamysz.
However, a final decision on the potential sale has not yet been made. Polish Deputy Defence Minister Paweł Bejda said that the US Congress could consider the request in early 2027.
Tomahawk missiles can be launched not only from ships and submarines but also from ground-based launch systems. In October 2025, US company Oshkosh Defense unveiled the autonomous X-MAV system, capable of carrying four Tomahawk missiles. Poland may be considering the purchase of similar launchers, although Warsaw has not yet specified which type of system it intends to acquire.
The number of missiles, their variants and the estimated cost of the potential purchase have not yet been disclosed.
The Tomahawk is an American subsonic cruise missile designed to carry out precision strikes against ground targets. Modern variants have a range of approximately 1,600 kilometres and can be launched from surface ships, submarines and ground-based launch systems.
Militarnyi previously reported on Germany’s plans to acquire American Tomahawk missiles. Berlin is considering purchasing up to 400 Block Vb missiles to enhance its long-range strike capabilities.
