The United States is to sell medium-range cruise missiles to Poland as the eastern European country continues to bolster its defences in the wake of the Ukraine crisis.

The sale of 40 air-launched AGM 158-missiles to Warsaw was approved by the US State Department on Monday.

The weapons can strike targets up to 250 miles away, further than the distance from Poland to Russia’s western border, and will be used as a “deterrent to regional threats”, the US State Department said. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin.

It is the first time the Polish air force will have the fire power to strike Russia from within their own border. Poland's missiles are currently limited to a maximum range of 43 miles.

Air launched, the new projectiles have a low-radar profile and can carry a 1,000-pound warhead.
