Flashback

Narew is a promising Polish short-range surface-to-air missile system. The new SAM system should counter most aerodynamic targets, including aeroplanes, helicopters and cruise missiles. It is designed to cover airbases and ground forces in co-operation with short-range SAMs. The Narew SAM should play an important role in Poland's future air defence.
