WARSAW, Oct ‌12 (Reuters) - Deliveries ​of ​some US weapons systems to Poland are set ‌to be delayed, including interceptors ⁠for the Patriot air defence system, ‌Polish army operational commander ‌General Ireneusz Nowak said on Monday.

Reuters reported in April that ​US officials had informed some European counterparts that some ⁠previously contracted weapons deliveries were likely to be ​delayed as the Iran war draws on weapons stocks.

"At this ​point it looks ‌like we are going to be affected as well. ⁠That’s very visible in the area of PAC-3 MSE Patriot ⁠missiles, they’re going to be delayed for ​sure,” Nowak told a panel at the Warsaw Security Forum.

“In general there’s going ‌to be impact and there are going to be... ‌additional delays to the ⁠deliveries scheduled already ‌or being ​under the contract already.”
