Poland will send Bystra radar stations to strengthen the protection of the border with Belarus, the press service of the Ministry of National Defense of Poland reported on Thursday, citing head of the ministry Mariusz Blaszczak.

"Speaking about the strengthening of the Polish Army, which guards the border and provides support to the Border Guard, the head of the Ministry of National Defense recalled that in the near future, AW 149 helicopters will be transferred to the army, to the armament of the 25th Air Cavalry Brigade.
