“We, the new Polish government, have not yet fully recognized what we have in our warehouses and production facilities, but it seems to me that this is my first impression of the economy in Poland, as in all of Europe, especially in this regard. “The military industry still operates in peacetime, but we need to upgrade its capabilities to crisis mode,” Sikorsky said.
The Minister also pointed out that new consortiums and initiatives should be created to start supplying bullets, weapons, vehicles and light weapon ammunition to Ukraine as soon as possible.
