Did you know that Poland was erased from the stage of history for 123 years and then re-established a republic?
So, that the ratio of defense budget to GDP is the highest among NATO? Or that the number of targeted personnel in Poland, where compulsory military service has been abolished since 2008, is 300 thousand...
Let's take a look at Poland's increased defense budget, especially with Russia's attack on Ukraine, and all aspects of the Polish Army, which attracted attention, in GZT.
We wouldn't be wrong if we say that the military forces of Poland, whose history goes back quite a bit, have come to the fore many times with different missions at different points in history. The Polish Army, which took its place in history with its struggle against Sweden, Russia and the Ottoman States, especially during the period of the Kingdom of Poland - Lithuania, attracted attention after the Ukraine - Russia war with a similar task.
Reinforcing its inventory with Bayraktar TB2 guns purchased from Turkey, Poland is taking firm steps forward to become one of the strongest armies in Europe and one of the few in the world.
All questions about the Polish Army and much more are answered by International Relations Specialist Žiga Faktor in the new episode of our series Modern Armies, prepared by Fatih Başar Kutlu.
