PARIS (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 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 (41.45 billion pounds) on defence over the next 15 years to modernise its army amid signs of growing aggression from Russia.
