The Polish army needs to be increased at least twice. This statement was made by Minister of Defense Mariusz Blaszczak in an interview with Polish Radio.
According to the head of the Polish defense department, at present, the number of armed forces of the country is 100 thousand troops, but twice as much is needed to ensure the national security of the country. The increase of the Polish army is one of the priorities of the Ministry of Defense of the country.
We should have at least 200 thousand. I am convinced that the Polish army should have even more soldiers, because this will be a guarantee of security
- said Blaschak.
The head of the military department recalled that in Poland since last year, the Become a Soldier of the Republic program has been operating, which aims to attract citizens of the republic, especially youth, to serve in the army. This company should help achieve the "right number" of military personnel.
In addition to the desire to increase its own armed forces, Warsaw simultaneously wants to increase the American military contingent. Earlier it was reported that in Poland they intend to create a joint training center with the United States and additionally deploy thousands of American troops around 1.
