The former Polish defense chief suggested that Warsaw should replace the weapons sent to Ukraine with other equipment that may not be the most modern. In an interview with RMF24, he outlined that Poland has already transferred roughly a quarter of its heavy militar y capabilities to Ukraine. He emphasized that Poland is offsetting this by leveraging Western technology, primarily from the United States and South Korea. He noted that these replacements are not the latest models and that a window of about three to four years may be needed before more advanced systems become available.

On March 29, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced that the government would push to expand ammunition production. He stated that two billion zlotys would be earmarked from the national budget for this purpose. This plan aims to ensure a steady supply of rounds and related munitions for ongoing military support.

Earlier, the prime minister indicated that Poland would be delivering new support to Ukraine as part of its broader aid initiative within the European Union framework. The commitment includes substantial armaments and equipment.

Poland has already shipped a range of military assets to Kyiv. This includes MiG-29 aircraft, T-72 battle tanks, and 14 Leopard 2 main battle tanks. The delivery also covered artillery shells, other ammunition, portable air defense systems, and unmanned aerial vehicles to reinforce Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
