  WARSAW, June 14 (Xinhua) -- A decision on deployment of U.S. heavy armament in Poland is to be made any time soon, Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said on Sunday.

  According to Poland's Ministry of National Defence website, the U.S. Department of Defence considers the deployment of heavy armaments in Eastern Europe. Poland is one of the considered places of deployment, others being Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and perhaps Hungary.

  Siemoniak stated that Poland had been seeking an increased U.S. military presence in Poland and at the eastern flank of NATO for some time.

  He emphasized that "it is easy to move the troops, while it is good to have the heavy armament located closely to places of potential conflict."

  The heavy armament being the subject of bilateral talks will include tanks and infantry fire trucks, which in case of danger can be used by a brigade of 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers.
