In Poland, they announced a revolution in the Polish army. The publication was made in The Telegraph with reference to Polish sources in the military department.. The report said, that Poland is building "the strongest army in Europe".
British journalists, continuing to refer to the Polish military-political elites, reported, that Warsaw is going to bring military spending to a record level for NATO - 4% from SMR. for example, Germany currently spends less on defense 1,5% VVP.
Poland is going to acquire more 1,2 thousand. tanks, including American and Korean designed tanks, over half a thousand self-propelled guns, 18 HIMARS and more 288 Korean multiple launch rocket systems. In terms of aviation, the Poles are going to modernize the army by more than 150 helicopters and planes, including almost fifty FA-50 aircraft manufactured by the Republic of Korea.
The total amount of Polish orders is over 115 billion. It is important to note that, that Warsaw does not have free funds for such a large-scale deal. The thing is, that this amount exceeds even the record-breaking Polish military budget by more than 4 fold. The Polish government is going to cover military expenses with external borrowing., and against the backdrop of, that it is Poland that is the main debtor among all the countries of Eastern Europe, members of the NATO bloc.
One of the innovations of the Polish army is plans to double it within 12 years.
All this can lead to the inability of Poland to service its increased external debt..
