I have confirmation that Abrams will be delivered to Poland by June 14, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at ANAD Anniston Army Depot in the US. We are aiming to produce depleted uranium ammunition cores for the Abrams in Poland, he added.
Abrams will replace post-Soviet equipment
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who is visiting the US this week, visited the ANAD Anniston Army Depot in Alabama on Wednesday, where Abrams tanks are produced.
The Prime Minister emphasized that security is currently also measured by the quality of military equipment and its availability. He informed that he had confirmation “that no later than June 14 Abrams tanks will be delivered to Poland, which will enter the battle formation in a situation where we need replacement tanks, due to the fact that we have the old, post-Soviet equipment to Ukraine.”
As he added, “this is a prelude” as 250 state-of-the-art Abrams and 116 modernized tanks have been ordered from the US.
“An armored curtain that will protect the eastern part of Poland”
The head of government stressed that this equipment is “an armored curtain that will protect the eastern part of Poland”.
At the same time, we are convinced that in addition to this armored curtain that strengthens our security, American business will also come along
– he said.
The production of ammunition cores for Abrams will also start in Poland?
He said he had spoken with the US military and management of this factory about the possibility of “establishing factories in Poland that will service and repair Abrams tanks in Europe”.
It is important for me to establish a center in Poland for maintaining, maintaining and maintaining the combat readiness of Abrams tanks throughout Europe. It is possible
– said Morawiecki, pointing out that Romania is also considering the purchase of Abrams.
We also aim to increase production in Poland of Abrams ammunition cores, depleted uranium cores, state-of-the-art
said the head of government.
He emphasized that currently the main problem at the front is the lack of ammunition.
That is why our national program for building adequate military forces and sufficient ammunition potential is very important
That is what Prime Minister Morawiecki said.
And this program can be strengthened precisely because depleted uranium cores can also be produced in Poland
he said.
NATO the most powerful alliance in world history
During the briefing, he also stressed that the North Atlantic Alliance is the most powerful alliance in world history and that Poland, which is part of it, is safe.
Morawiecki also pointed out that all investments require money.
They are only possible thanks to the fact that we have won the war against VAT mafia, that we have taxed international companies
noted the prime minister.
