Poland will lease the Swedish HMS Södermanland while waiting for fresh ships of the Orka program. The leased unit is almost 38 years old, which is almost the same age as the Polish ORP Orzeł. However, there is simply a fundamental difference between them – while our ship is inactive in the russian reality of the 80s of the erstwhile century, the vessel from Sweden, after 2 deep modernizations, represents the technology of the 21st century.
