Poland’s defense posture has taken a historic turn since the beginning of Russia’s war in Ukraine in February 2022. In view of a large conventional land war on its borders, the Polish Army, Navy and Air Force are undergoing an extensive modernization program at both pace and scale - a process that began slowly in 2011 to shed Soviet-era equipment but accelerated after the invasion. There are ongoing acquisitions of platform based missile defense systems, multiple rocket launch systems, infantry fighting vehicles, multirole aircraft, frigates, attack helicopters, main battle tanks, transport & utility helicopters, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery systems, and more in the forecast period of 2026-2031, when total defense spending is predicted to total $353.8 billion. This compares with historical (2022-26) spending totalling $173.7 billion.

Lessons learnt about artillery, attrition, unmanned technologies, and missile defense in Russia’s war will influence Polish military capability priorities, with Poland seeking high-end equipment to deter the primary security threat from Russia. The Suwalki corridor region in Northeast Poland is a strategically significant area for the entire NATO alliance. Poland remains a committed NATO member and maintains strong bilateral relations with the US, who remains Poland’s largest provider of equipment. Even so, US hegemony is being challenged by Korean firms Hanwha, Korea Aerospace Industries, and Hyundai Rotem. These AFV, training & light attack aircraft, and artillery suppliers that are part of an ambitious technology transfer agreement that will expand Polish domestic industry. Whilst most major procurement choices are likely finalized, some opportunities remain and the supply chain footprints in Poland will grow substantially.
