"Currently, the state's influence on the state's weaponry is little than that... private. Would this be a solution to the return of the PGZ to MON? In 2015, a contract was signed to upgrade the Leopard 2. Swan Bumar tanks, cooperating with German RheinmetaHem, was to deliver them ready in 2020. She got a small over half. First the Treasury, then private entities, then abroad entities - this is what the pyramid should look like in Polish defence capabilities - explained Marcin Idzik, associate of the board of the Polish Armed Forces Group in a fresh interview with “Rzeczpospolita”. This message shows well what forms of ownership of the arms manufacture we have in Poland.
The first group consists of entities controlled by the State, which are fundamentally associated with the Polish Armed Forces Group. These most recognizable ones are the cannon-haubice Krab Huta Stalowa Wola, the War Shipyard, which is active in the construction of ships in the program "Miecznik" or the men's complaints, which produces, among others, Piorun anti-aircraft kits. The second group is private arms, the largest of which is by far the WB Group, celebrated for its unmanned personnel. But we must not forget others, specified as those listed on the WSE Lubawa, which produces, among others, bulletproof vests, or the builder of AZZ Kutno vehicles. Finally, the 3rd group consists of abroad giants who have their bets in Poland, specified as PZL Mielec, owned by American Lockheed Martin and WZL Świdnik owned by Italian Leonardo.”
