The Polish army urgently needs Polish ammunition. “We are stuck in the principles from the PRL era”
There is still time to rebuild the Polish arms industry. Free it from the political octopus and the propaganda of success. The Polish army urgently needs Polish ammunition. We need strategic production sovereignty, free from the yoke of arms corporations.
The information that appeared in the media space related to the preparation of ammunition production in Poland showed the weakness of the state systems, which instead of taking care of the strategic security of the arms sector, are unable to build its strength. On the contrary, this system, due to various people, is slipping out of the state’s control. An example is the contract for the Polska Ammunicja factory, where the interests of the State Treasury seem to be subject to legal manipulation. But this is a matter for the services and prosecutors. We can trust that everything will be clarified quickly, which is to be guaranteed by changes in the Polish justice system.
The issue of the need to build an ammunition industry in Poland has been raised for a year. Contrary to appearances, for many years, despite politicians’ assurances, nothing has been done in this sector in terms of building its capabilities. Above all, this should consist in building full technological sovereignty, allowing Poland to produce all materials and components for ammunition production.
Currently, we are dependent on supplies from abroad. And this also applies to the production of ammunition carried out by the Polish Armaments Group.
We do not have technological independence.
