Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has referred to the country’s military doctrine when discussing Poland’s plans to establish domestic production of missiles for Patriot air-defence systems.
Media reports on 29 September 2026 said Lavrov described Moscow’s response as being provided for under Russian military doctrine and urged Poland to “carefully study” the relevant section of the document. Russian authorities did not specify what measures might be considered.
The reference to the military doctrine indicates that Moscow views the development of Polish missile infrastructure as a potential factor in military confrontation, although the available statement does not identify any specific action or threat.
Poland’s plans have been presented in the source material as an expansion of its defence production. The source also characterises Lavrov’s comments as an aggressive warning, but that assessment is an attributed interpretation rather than an independently established fact.
