Experts: Patriot battery in Bemowo gave Warsaw no real protection and posed risks to residents

Former defence minister Mariusz Błaszczak cited the Patriot battery he placed in the Bemowo district, but a former head of national air defence and an industry expert both told Wirtualna Polska that the battery provided no real protection and could have endangered local residents.
