Minister of National Defence Mariusz Blaszczak has signed contracts for the purchase of armaments from South Korea. These include FA-50 light fighters, K2 tanks and K9 self-propelled howitzers.
BREAKING: Poland signs contract with Korea for 1000 tanks and 50 fighters
The order for K2 tanks has been divided into two stages. In the first, Poland is to buy 180 tanks - deliveries will begin later this year, while the second stage is for more than 800 tanks to be brought up to the K2PL standard and for production to begin in Poland in 2026. The tanks delivered in the first phase are also to be brought up to the K2PL standard.

The purchase of K9 self-propelled howitzers has also been divided into phases. The first assumes the acquisition of 48 howitzers, some of which will come to Poland this year to fill the gap left by the equipment transferred to Ukraine. Deliveries of a further 600-plus howitzers are to begin in 2024, with the guns to be produced in Poland from 2026. The K9s will be equipped with Polish communications systems from the outset and will also be plugged into the Topaz integrated combat management system.
Thanks, I thought this is an odd thread. No one gives a fuck about Poles.
Thats nice of Poland, buying all that stuff for zelensky
Slava Ukraini!
how badly is Germany seething?
Aren't Korean tanks like super fucking heavy unsuitable for Poland climate?
Look at the thread, first German and already seething.
Not really, Leopard 2PL (our current MBT) weighs about 60t and K2 Black Panther around 55t. It's yet unknown how much K2PL Wilk will weigh. My guess is around 60t as well.
