Polish-Spanish defense talks with MRTT aerial tankers in the background

Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Secretary of State at the Ministry of National Defence Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka paid an official visit to Madrid. One of the topics discussed was the Airbus A330 MRTT multirole transport tanker aircraft.

On June 22-23, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Secretary of State at the Ministry of National Defence Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka paid an official visit to Madrid.

„Today I have heard an assurance from the Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Spain of allied support for Poland with all the threats pertinent to us, especially from the Russian Federation. I have heard a declaration of great solidarity, friendship and readiness to support every member state of the Alliance. These often repeated manipulations regarding Spain and its role in NATO and level of commitment are fairy tales. Spain is committed and ready for cooperation and joint action. Today’s meeting was a chance not only to confirm allied commitments – Poland will also fulfil all its commitments towards Spain and our allies in NATO and the European Union – but also to prepare a stance for the NATO Summit in Ankara in two weeks” – said the Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the second day of the visit of the Polish delegation in Madrid.

On the second day of the visit, the delegation visited the Airbus Defence and Space industrial complex in Getafe, where they were received by the company’s President in Spain, Francisco Javier Sánchez Segura. Representatives of the Polish Ministry of National Defence familiarized themselves with the modification line for Airbus A330 MRTT multirole transport tanker aircraft and the heavy transport aircraft service center for the Airbus A400M.

Today we have discussed transport and refuelling aircraft. We have already said so in the production hall, where you could see how this aircraft looks and what its capabilities are. These are extraordinary: transport, air-to-air refuelling, medical evacuation and many more, which the Polish Air Force badly needs to use the full potential of the F-35s. It is simply impossible without air-to-air refuelling. It makes the operation take much less time, especially with the use of all the systems available. These minutes are key to the security of Poland. If not for allied air-to-air refuelling aircraft, the capabilities of F-35s to intercept foreign aerial vehicles couldn’t be used in full on the night of 9 and 10 September. I take full responsibility for these words. A critical purchase is Ahead of us. The SAFE programme enters its second phase. We will continue to use these funds in the Polish industry or for those partners who will invest in Poland, as we gain the capabilities indicated by the military. The capabilities of air-to-air refuelling, medical evacuation and transport and troop transportation are absolutely critical.” – noted the Minister of National Defence after the meeting with the representatives of the Spanish defense industry.

To all those who prophesied that after finishing procurement in Poland we will make way to Berlin, you’ve missed again. Today we are in Spain. The largest purchase in the SAFE programme regards one of the key capabilities for the Polish Armed Forces, a capability that wasn’t secured by any of the previous governments, that is air-to-air refuelling. Especially the night of 9 and 10 September, when Russian drones have violated Polish airspace, showed how much that capability is needed for our fighter aircraft to be fully operational. And today we are discussing gaining that capability. This is what we are using the SAFE mechanism for,” – stressed the Secretary of State in the Ministry of National Defence, Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka.

The main item on Tuesday’s agenda was bilateral talks at the Spanish Ministry of Defence. Following the official welcoming ceremony for the Polish government delegation, a one-on-one meeting took place between Ministers Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Margarita Robles, followed by bilateral talks between the two delegations.

I know that transport and air-to-air refuelling aircraft are an important topic for everyone, especially in Poland. It is one of the most important projects. We’ve had situations when previous governments have postponed or never took a decision, or even have blocked the development of these capabilities. Our government is determined to implement the capabilities for air-to-air refuelling and air transport. We will want to purchase this aircraft as part of the SAFE programme, jointly with Spain. We have signed a memorandum on 29 May that obliges both countries to follow through with the purchase. Now we are transitioning towards the execution phase. I am grateful for the openness of the Ministry of Defence of Spain, the Secretary of State and everyone involved in the process of modernization of the Spanish Armed Forces, with regards to making production slots available for our needs. We have given ourselves two weeks, up until the NATO Summit in Ankara, to agree to all the details, but we are well on our way. Poland and Spain will jointly procure refuelling and transport aircraft. The matter that remains is the number of aircraft and production possibilities.” – said Deputy Prime Minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz after the bilateral meeting.

Spain knows that an attack on any ally is an attack on Spain. We will develop our capabilities, invest in defence, build skills and expand our defence industry. Just like before, we will take part in missions. I think that this message of unity is the best signal we can send to Russia.” – noted the Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Spain, Margarita Robles.

The visit to the Spanish Ministry of Defence concluded with a Polish Army Medal award ceremony. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, in the presence of his Spanish counterpart, decorated four soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Spain for outstanding contributions to strengthening military cooperation and allied ties between the two countries.

On the first day of the visit, the delegation attended a ceremony at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Madrid, organized with the participation of members of the Polish diaspora and graduates of Polish schools. During the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz presented diplomas to fourteen Polish secondary school graduates living in Madrid.
