    That was pretty easy considering Poland have basically no new weapons, mostly old junk. Also he only do this when the internal little war seems to finally start in Poland, PO wants to trial several prominent PiS politicians but seems to wait for presidental election next year because Dupa will just pardon them otherwise, so he did this to spite them. Another reason might be that even a moron like him see the writing on the wall for Ukraine, especially considering the turmoil in Washington.

      Poland received new weapons from S. Korea in October, and Duda said it in relation to those new weapons.

        Huh i thought that the tank deal was cancelled and the only thing that’s arriving were the planes. That’s very worrying honestly that Poland after 35 years finally signed a big weapon deal that don’t seem to be a complete fuckup, and that they dared to buy something not in USA or Germany.

        Non socialist Poland should not be decently armed, ever.

          Because they don’t have anything to sell. US promised to sell new replacements to every EU country who sent their old stock to Ukraine, there’s a waiting list, I imagine.

            You’re probably right. And this replacement deal was even real? I can recall that Poland offered to send F-16 and Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine if NATO proved replacements even back in 2022 or 2023 but USA did straight up denied.
