This year we will allocate up to 4% of GDP to arms. Poland may be the country that will spend the most money on the military budget among the full North Atlantic Alliance. We are not only upgrading the Polish army, but besides expanding the number of soldiers. Our actions have an crucial goal – we want Poles to be safe.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the NIL Military Unit in Krakow.Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed that we must have an army so strong that no another would dare attack us. We are consistently investing in the expansion of the Polish army. In large part, the weaponry comes from home production, which we make in plants throughout Poland. We manufacture state-of-the-art equipment compatible with NATO devices.
In addition to upgrading the army, it is besides crucial to increase its size. As of 2015, the number of soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland has increased from 95 1000 to about 164 1000 today. The fresh provisions of the Home defence Act supply that the Polish army will yet be increased to around 300 1000 soldiers – 250 1000 professional soldiers and 50,000 soldiers of the Territorial Defence Army.
– Our homeland is now safe due to the fact that we are expanding the Polish army. Since 2015 we have increased both the numerical state of our army, established fresh types of armed forces, but besides improved the weapons of the Polish army. We improved them through abroad purchases, but we besides improved them through home production," said the head of the Polish government.
We will allocate up to 4% of GDP to the Polish army
By the decision of Prime Minister Mesko, Huta Stalowa Wola, Autosan, Jelcz and many another defence plants in Poland will receive additional funds from the state budget. We want to produce weapons here, but besides export them. In addition to home production we order from our allies: K2 tanks, cannonhaubice K9 or HIMARSy. There are already Patriots in Poland – the most modern anti-missile and anti-aircraft systems.
– We allocate up to 4% of GDP to arms. This may be the highest percent of military spending, military spending this year from all NATO countries, so we do not spare the strength, resources to strengthen the Polish army and so the Republic of Poland is safe," said the Prime Minister.

– Our allies – American first of all – know very well that, as we have helped in Afghanistan, we aid all the time in Iraq, just as they can number on us, as we, as president Biden said, can number on them, the American soldiers who are stationed in the territory of the Republic today," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
