Corruption?
It's the only reason why USAF was forced to except the F-15EX. USAF didn't want it they made that clear but then politicians with Boeing ties stepped in and USAF all of a sudden wanted the F-15EX.

NATO began holding exercises Steadfast Defender 24, military maneuvers are now taking place in Poland. The video shows NATO troops crossing the Vistula; in three days, 3.5 thousand soldiers and several hundred pieces of military equipment were transported across the river. Leopard, Abrams, Leclerc tanks, Boxer and M2 Bradley fighting vehicles are used. Also, as part of the general maneuvers of the North Atlantic Alliance in Kozhenewo in northern Poland, the Dragon-24 exercise is taking place, in which about 20 thousand soldiers are involved.
The exercise will last four months and will involve 90,000 troops from 31 alliance member countries, 50 ships, 80 fighter jets and 1,110 combat vehicles, including 133 tanks and 533 infantry fighting vehicles. This is the largest NATO exercise since 1988. According to the exercise scenario, the deployment of troops in Europe and the simulation of a conflict scenario “with an almost equal enemy” are being practiced. The Bundeswehr will also conduct exercises, in which 12,000 troops will take part, as well as the 10th Panzer Division.

Poland to buy more K2 tanks in $6.2B deal
South Korea is expected to finalize another major arms deal with Poland as early as next month, government officials said Sunday.
The proposed agreement, valued at approximately 9 trillion won ($6.2 billion), would see Seoul exporting an additional 180 K2 Black Panther main battle tanks to Poland.
This follows the initial agreement signed in July 2022, under which South Korea committed to providing Poland with K2 tanks, K9 self-propelled howitzers, FA-50 light attack aircraft, and Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers. In August 2022, Korea signed its first contract with Poland worth $12.4 billion, covering the shipment of 180 K2 tanks, 212 K9 howitzers, and 48 FA-50 jets. Since then, both sides have been working to finalize a follow-up deal for additional K2 tanks.
Negotiations for the second contract were initially expected to conclude last year but faced delays due to disagreements between the Polish government and a local defense company over specific contractual details. The process was further complicated by political instability in South Korea following the temporary martial law declaration by impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on December 3.
During a recent bilateral foreign ministers’ meeting in Warsaw, officials from both nations reaffirmed their commitment to expediting the finalization of the second contract.
The two governments also pledged to strengthen broader defense cooperation, signaling Poland’s continued reliance on South Korean military hardware to modernize its armed forces.

The Poles are moving up to become far more powerful than the PA by 2035. They will be able to fight the Russian army on the ground on their own.
And funny part is chana & Pakistan is more hostile to india than the Russians to Poland.
Army’s stock of anti-tank guided missiles & launchers is outdated & fast running out
Despite repeated efforts to procure advanced ATGMs, the Army still faces shortages, impacting operational readiness of infantry and mechanised infantry battalions.

The Polish are doing what India did in the 70s and 80s.
May be polish os doing what we have dor in past, but now we are doing what our ancestors had done in past, " ie ignoring the defense sector, not seeing the lacuna defense and invited 800 year long foreign rule from muslim world followed by a white rule(i am grateful to white people for ending the barbaric mughal rule)". Sad part is thar we didn't even touch the 100 year anniversary of our independence and started forgetting our own history.
That's the impression given, but I think we are doing quite well.
Btw, the Marathas ended Mughal rule. The British defeated the Marathas to take over.
Maratjad did had some victory against mughals, but i will not tell they ended the mughal.

No. We are patgetic in defence preparedness. I fear, with this attitude from MOD even Bangladesh will be in a positions to attack us may trurned out to victorious, in another 20 to 30 years.

Poland's FA-50 acquisition is not going well.
defence24.pl
FA-50. When will they enter the country's defense system? Because we're saying goodbye to MiGi soon...?
Gen. Nowak: Here's the dilemma. From the beginning, we have said that these 12 aircraft in the version called Gap Filler, in our concept have more school functions. They are to produce us pilots ready to train for real F-16 and F-35 combat platforms. They are also supposed to have the ability to perform combat duty and fire influence. We now need to focus on quickly producing the instructor staff and training it, to the level that they achieve independence.
If we do not do this and put the planes on duty, we will significantly slow down the training process. The question is what is important at the moment. If the more important things are on duty, we'll include the FA-50 next year. The rockets to them are already on their way.
And the PL version?
Gen. Nowak: We carry out comprehensive conceptual work. What weapons to integrate into PL, and what about GF. We have started a strong dialogue with European producers. It may turn out that the aircraft in the PL version will be a very versatile platform, capable of carrying not only the American, but also European armaments.
Brimstone? The meteor?
It's about Brimstone, ASRAAM and Iris-T.
Col. Paluch: The priority for the PL version will certainly be a medium-range missile, we are mainly referring to the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile. In addition, a short-range rocket, as the main AIM-9X Sidewinder. We are also seeing the need to start work on integrating a new type of short-range rocket into the Gap Filler version. Currently, it is integrated with the L, M and P Sidewinders, but these are old-type missiles, whose global supplies are depleted by their consumption in Ukraine. We need to think about a missile for the next three to four decades.
So the FA-50GF is buckling a new version. Will they not be brought to the PL standard?
Colonel Paluch: There are financial constraints and there is a cost-effect issue. We will remain with the increased school function of the Gap Fillers, but in the sense of training advanced pilots and saving target platforms for this training. The change of GF in PL would involve a change in the current radar. Getting rid of it is not justified. This device is comparable to the current radios of our F-16s, and in some respects even better.
Gen. Nowak: In summary, we want the FA-50PL to be the most flexible, multi-purpose aircraft, but low-cost. It is to have a full spectrum of weapons to combat surface, air and ground targets. With full capacity to perform duty in air defense.
It is worth mentioning that there are interesting offers of a low-cost cruise missile that the FA-50PL could carry and serve as a relatively cheap offensive weapon to saturate the opponent.
