Cooperation between the Polish weaponry system and the Polish army

The Prime Minister announced that the cooperation of private companies, such as WB Electronics, with the Polish army, is going to be strengthened, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the cooperation between the Polish weaponry system and the Polish army is as close as possible because developing military capabilities is a critical issue,” said Mateusz Morawiecki.

As he emphasised, the "Polish military forces are increasingly well-armed because the Polish government has been accelerating its arms programme for some years now. Poland has procured some of the world’s most cutting-edge equipment. These include F-35 planes and the Patriot air defence system, as well as state-of-the-art technologies, artillery strength and firepower capabilities – these, put together, decide about victory on a modern battlefield,” summarised the PM.

Increasing the capabilities of the Polish Army

The new Homeland Defence Act is entering into force on 23 April. The act is a response to the increasingly difficult geopolitical situation in our region. It offers possibilities and perspectives previously not known to the Polish Armed Forces. A framework is being developed for one of NATO’s strongest armies. The assumptions are to increase the number of soldiers, increase the budget for defence, and technically modernise the army. The act also puts in order the provisions about the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland. It will put the provisions that have been scattered across a dozen or so acts into a single document.

What is more, a couple of days ago, Poland signed a contract for the delivery of 250 newest-version Abrams tanks for the army. They are the world’s most cutting-edge tanks. These new machines will boost Polish military capabilities. This year will also mark the acquisition of the first Patriot missile batteries and Bayraktar combat aerial vehicles for Polish soldiers.
