re.....finalizing the BMD agreement of Patriots into Poland.

There was a guest on Hugh Hewitt yesterday who said this missile shield would be effective against Iranian missiles, not Russian.

Doe anyone know if this is factual?

The only thing I know is that the agreement with Poland only includes 10 land based interceptors. For Poland I think the more important issue was the permanent placement of the Patriots and the mutual defense treaty. 10 interceptors is not a very large number viewed in context of total Russian capabilities. Evidently Poland didn’t feel the land based interceptors did anything to protect them against the Russians as they insisted on additional US supplied measures before they would agree to their installation.
