In Poland, the practice of purchasing small quantities of ammunition from local manufacturers for the needs of the Armed Forces is widespread. But they do not allow creating sufficient reserves in case of military operations, and the defense industry enterprises are not given a reason to invest in expanding their production.

This opinion was expressed by a columnist of the Polish edition of Defense 24.

The Polish media sees a way out of this situation in the conclusion of multi-year contracts between the Polish Ministry of Defense and manufacturers for the supply of ammunition. Then the defense industry of the country can count on private investments secured by long-term contracts with the state, allowing to expand the production of military products. Otherwise, enterprises will not be able to increase the production capacity for the production of ammunition.

And then the Polish Armed Forces will have to stand at the tail of a long queue to foreign suppliers. Of course, the latter will respond to the increase in demand by increasing the purchase prices for their products.

Thus, the journalist believes, if the Polish defense industry does not urgently increase production volumes, the Polish army faces an acute shortage of ammunition in the event of a large-scale armed conflict

The author notes that one of the main lessons of the military actions in Ukraine was the change in the military's ideas about the necessary supply of ammunition in case of the outbreak of war. As it turned out, in intensive combat operations, they are spent many times more than previously expected.

Earlier, the first batch of military equipment from South Korea arrived in Poland. We are talking about 20 K2 Black Panther tanks and 24 K9 Thunder self-propelled guns.
