Missiles group MBDA targets Poland contracts

PARIS, Sept 19 (Reuters) - European missiles company MBDA is targeting possible contract wins in Poland in the medium-to-long term, Chief Executive Antoine Bouvier told a journalists' briefing on Tuesday.

Airbus and BAE Systems (LSE: BA.L - news) each own 37.5 percent stakes in MBDA, while Italian defence company Leonardo has a 25 percent stake.

In August, its deputy defence minister said Poland would allocate an additional 200 billion zlotys ($56 billion) on defence over the next 15 years to modernise its army amid signs of growing aggression from Russia.
