During the DSEI international defense exhibition in London, an agreement was signed between MESKO S.A., a company belonging to the PGZ and the Swedish Defense Procurement Agency. Under this agreement, Sweden will acquire PIORUN MANPADS. The contract value is approximately 3 billion Swedish kronor.

Sweden's interest in the PIORUN system was expressed in a letter of intent in March 2025. Negotiations were held in the following months, leading to the submission of a preliminary order in June. The final agreement was signed in September during the DSEI exhibition in London. Deliveries are scheduled for 2027.

 

Contribution to Regional Security

The PIORUN will strengthen Sweden's very short-range air defense capabilities, contributing to the modernization of the country's armed forces. Stockholm's decision demonstrates that Polish solutions are valued not only in the region but also globally – including NATO countries. Sweden joined the Alliance in 2024.

 

- PIORUN is an example of a product that combines innovation, reliability, and experience acquired on a real battlefield - says Renata Gruszczyńska, Chairman of the Board of MESKO S.A. - It is the result of the teamwork of engineers and specialists who have been building MESKO's position on the international market for years. Today's agreement confirms that the company is successfully developing as part of the PGZ and is making a real contribution to the security of allied countries. It is also an important proof of the effectiveness of the current MESKO management and the effect of the Polish government's support for the development of the domestic defense industry – adds Renata Gruszczyńska, Chairman of the Board.

 

Product Proven and Developed in Poland

PIORUN was developed entirely in Poland and is being systematically modernized in cooperation with its users. The system has proven its worth in, among others, Ukraine - during real combat conditions. It is known for high precision, resistance to jamming, and the ability to engage a wide range of targets – from aircraft and helicopters to drones and cruise missiles.

 

An important step for Polish industry

The agreement with Sweden is further evidence of the growing position of MESKO S.A. and the PGZ in the European market. It also confirms that Poland is a reliable and valued partner in the area of ​​security and defense. The contract is consistent with the Polish government's broader efforts to consistently strengthen the role of the domestic defense industry in the security system of allied countries.
