Poland’s raison d’etre is the execution of arms contracts, the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Mariusz Błaszczak, told TVP Info on Sunday. He emphasized that “no one will defend Poland for ourselves if we ourselves are not ready to defend our territory.”
When asked whether, in his opinion, the arms contracts would continue after the opposition comes to power, Błaszczak said: “It is Poland’s raison d’être that these contracts must be implemented.”
This mainly concerns contracts with the United States and South Korea. I am particularly proud of this success, which means that within a few months, literally a few months, I have managed to ensure that in Poland there are Korean tanks, Korean gun howitzers, Korean aircraft, American Abrams tanks, HIMARS, that i.e. launchers, are. , rocket artillery with a range of up to 300 km
– said the head of the Ministry of National Defense.
Reconstruction of rocket artillery
After a gap of eighteen years, we managed to reintroduce rocket artillery in the Polish army. After a break of twenty years, we organized exercises for the first time with the landing of fighter planes on specially prepared road sections, this is our collaboration with the Ministry of Infrastructure, with Minister Adamczyk. We have managed to renovate such places and after twenty years, military planes are landing on airport road sections
– Błaszczak noted.
Referring to the journalist’s words that the statements of opposition politicians show that if US contracts are implemented, “from what is currently being heard, it can be concluded that Korean cooperation remains a big question mark,” Błaszczak said: “If this were to happen, it would be a cardinal mistake, and in fact, it would not be a mistake, it would be stupidity.
We are aware that there is a war going on at our border. We are aware that the whole world is interested in armaments. Some only verbally, but we must actually arm ourselves, because if PiS’s process is wasted, we will be in mortal danger of a Russian attack. No one will defend Poland for ourselves if we ourselves are not prepared to defend our territory
– he emphasized.
