On Saturday, Poland signed a record package of 29 defense contracts with domestic suppliers worth 78 billion zlotys, approximately 18.4 billion euros. The purchases are financed through the European Union's SAFE loan program and were announced by Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz at the signing at the Dezamet plant in Nowa Deba. svet.sme.sk ↗
The contract with Dezamet is part of a broader order of 155-millimeter artillery ammunition from Polish manufacturers. Its total value reaches 13 billion zlotys, approximately three billion euros. Poland's Ministry of Defense stated that further agreements signed with Huta Stalowa Wola concern the delivery of Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles, escort vehicles for Homar-K launchers and K9 howitzers, automated Baobab minelaying vehicles, fire modules, and command vehicles. pravda.sk ↗
The SAFE program offers European Union member states 150 billion euros in the form of low-interest loans for the purchase of military equipment produced in Europe. Poland is the largest beneficiary of this initiative, and the new contracts are meant to strengthen its armed forces as well as its domestic defense production. teraz.sk ↗
Warsaw is thus continuing its extensive modernization of the armed forces, which it links to the security situation in Europe. Further developments will depend on the implementation of the signed deliveries and on the drawdown of funds from the European SAFE program. aktuality.sk ↗
