We will start with the implementation of the Orka program. Still this year, we plan to launch a procedure aimed at the purchase of submarines and the transfer of the necessary technologies – said Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Ministry of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak on Wednesday
Speaking at the two-day Defense24 Day conference that started on Wednesday, Błaszczak stressed that “a full-fledged navy should include not only surface units, but also units that can move secretly underwater.”
We will start with the implementation of the Orka program. This year we intend to launch a procedure aimed at the purchase of submarines, together with the transfer of the necessary technologies that we want to obtain through an offset order
he inquired.
He added that the ministry would soon release more details on the number of ships and their equipment and capabilities.
We want our submarines to be characterized by long-term missions and high capability in terms of combat assets carried and configuration flexibility. But also high capacities of creeping movements at high speed and hiding under water for a long time
– said the head of the Ministry of National Defense.
