The total number of armored vehicles lost as a result of support for Ukraine may have reached as many as 800 vehicles. That is equivalent of the equipment of roughly 14 mechanized battalions. Very few of these vehicles remain in Polish service today.

Poland already operates several hundred fly reconnaissance drones under a framework agreement for more than 1,600 units to be delivered by 2035. Importantly, the producer continuously upgrades the system, meaning the military receives the latest versions over time.

We discussed the project which I believe is, if my memory serves me correctly, $17.6 billion worth of debt financing needed to build the first AP1000 in Eastern Europe, where Poland is where it’s meant to be.
