Polish Armed Forces: News

Poland is about to buy 96 Apache helos. Making them the second largest user in the world.

You sure about the second largest... how many did the Taliban get?

Its very easy to throw out these grocery lists with big numbers of wunderwaffen [Oh, so scary, I just shat my pants Razz ]. Costs nothing, and makes for great soundbites.

But the question is: can they afford it?

Of course they can afford it... once they get the 1.3 trillion the Germans owe them for WWII and of course the 10 trillion the Russians owe them too... they can live the life they expect from being part of the west.

Those HIMARS Ukraine received, they were ripped off from Poland, as Poland purchased them a while ago, but the U.S. failed to deliver them to Poland after Polish government fully paid for them, but in 2022 the U.S.A. gave them for free to Ukraine.


Poland is even being forced to pay for the U.S. troops stationed on its soil.


And those modern fighter jets from the U.S.A., Poland also fully paid for them years ago, but thus far it did not receive any, and the U.S. government has kept the money.


Do not listen to those Internet cretins claiming that Poland is about to become "a major military power."


Binkov and the others really lost credibility with such claims.

America is a law unto itself... we decided we didn't want our skyhawks but because we upgraded them the US said we couldn't sell them to anyone they didn't approve so instead of spending 100 million a year flying around a dozen or so skyhawks we spend 20 million keeping them in secure storage...

They wanted us to buy F-16s to keep the gravy train going.

You don't buy American weapons... you lease them, and all the strings attached are woven together to go round your neck like a noose if you don't behave...

It does not matter if you are Iran and Venezuela or Turkey or Poland...
