UK Export Finance (UKEF) has provided £2.3 billion of support for the export of air defence systems from the UK to Poland.

The deal will see MBDA UK supply CAMM (Common Anti-Air Modular Missile) systems to Poland. CAMM is a short-range air defence system designed to protect against a wide range of air threats, including aircraft, helicopters and drones.

The deal is a major boost for the UK defence industry and will support jobs and growth in the sector. It also demonstrates the UK’s commitment to supporting its allies in NATO.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said:

“This deal shows the strength of the UK’s defence industry and our commitment to supporting our allies in NATO. CAMM is a world-leading air defence system that will help Poland defend itself against a range of threats.”

UK Export Finance Minister Graham Stuart said:

“This deal is a major win for the UK defence industry and will support jobs and growth in the sector. It also demonstrates the UK’s commitment to supporting its allies in NATO.”

MBDA UK Chief Executive Chris Allam said:

“We are delighted to have secured this contract with Poland, which is a key NATO ally. CAMM is a world-leading air defence system that will help Poland protect itself against a range of threats.”

The deal is the latest in a series of defence contracts that UK Export Finance has supported in recent years. In 2022, UKEF provided £1.2 billion of support for the export of Typhoon fighter jets from the UK to Qatar.

UK Export Finance is the UK’s export credit agency. It provides financial support to UK exporters, helping them to win contracts and grow their businesses.
