Poland is now preparing for war in the hopes of deterring it from ever happening in the first place. They intend to double their land forces to a staggering 300,000 personnel over the next 5 years. Seeking to stop people from claiming they accidentally invaded Poland. To put this into context once it is completed Poland's military will be larger than the French and German forces combined. Which makes sense because a lot is at stake for them. Polish Prime minister Tusk said quote “We are living in the most critical moment since the end of World War II.
The next two years will decide everything,” He’s referring to how the war in Ukraine waging on their borders turns out and how successful their military modernization ends up being. Poland aims to achieve this gigantic goal by raising their defense spending to 4% of GDP or $133 billion dollars over 5 years; it's the highest percentage in the entire NATO alliance. It’s like their throwing out their old military and replacing it with a brand new one.
Already taken in 1.3 million refugees from ukraine. All of this is why I want to answer, what challenges Poland’s defense modernization effort will face? Which types of unique weapons systems will they need to invest in? which strategies will they deploy on the tactical level?
