"In case of war, Poland will be the first in NATO to take a strike" - ex-commander of the Polish ground forces

Retired Lieutenant General Waldemar Skrypczak, a former commander of the Ground Forces and Deputy Secretary of State of the Ministry of National Defense, spoke in an interview with the Polish press about the need to reinstate the draft.

In case of war, we will need 400 thousand soldiers or more. Poland cannot afford to have so many professional soldiers. Thus, 70 percent are reserve soldiers who will be called up only in case of war. But who should we count on?

- asked the former commander of the Polish ground forces.

The decision to abolish conscription into the Polish army was, according to a senior retiree, purely political. In fact, you shouldn't have refused the draft. As a result, the complete transfer of the Polish army to the contract manning principle, which occurred more than 10 years ago, led to sad consequences.

As Skrypchak notes, now the entire real mobilization reserve of Poland is represented by people who cannot be attributed to young people. They will no longer be able to serve in combat units due to their age and state of health, and Poland simply does not have "storerooms" under 35 years old.

In case of war, Poland must deploy at least 400-450 thousand soldiers to defend its interests. However, the country no longer has such a number of storage facilities. As a result, the shortage in the units will be 70% of the personnel.

Skzipchak noted that Poland is a NATO cover country and in the event of a war, it is Poland that will be the first to take a strike among all NATO countries. Apparently, here a feeling of jealousy should arise among the Baltic republics ... The general is retired and advocates the restoration of the conscription system. But in order to attract conscripts, he proposes to carefully consider the system of benefits and bonuses for the Poles who have served in the army and for their immediate family.

Poland was unlucky either with its location or with the local population, and now it keeps on sticking to the disease and cannot get close to any shore, everything is twisted in dreams of when it will be attacked.

Country is a consumable item. It turns out not NATO is covering Poland, but Poland is NATO. Here it is.
Poland is going to defend its interests. And what are they like in Poland, what do they say about the fantastic mriyas as much as about 450 thousand soldiers? East Kresy?
From sea to sea? Crazy? Their history teaches nothing. All the imaginary greatness itching with them in one place. And then they are offended that they are again divided by someone and how bad they are around. Poland is offended. Will finish badly.

[Proxima]

The retired general says everything correctly. Only rich countries that are covered from the continents by the English Channel or the "Big Puddle", in particular Great Britain and the United States, can have a contract army. And then, the latter still has the so-called reservists. But continental countries cannot afford such luxury. Germany, Holland, Switzerland, not to mention Israel and many other countries. In France they generally want to be drafted into the army from the age of 16. In a word, the Poles once caved in in front of the States to be in trend, but now they bite their elbows.

[Sergey39]

Continental countries also cannot afford a conscript army, especially since this will not save them anyway. They have only one way, to choose a patron for themselves and entrust their protection to him. Which is what they do.

In case of war, Poland will be the first in NATO to take a hit

It is time to make it the first chapter of the NATO Charter.

And it doesn't matter where the war will be and with whom.

One hell at the last minute, the Poles will again throw the Angles in favor of the Saxons and go over to the other side. To the next hitler.

As a result, NATO will deliver its first blow to Poland.

It seems to me that the Russian people deserve a rest in the next European war.
Let them (Europeans) kill themselves and cut the Americans at the same time.

And we will promise not to interfere in their internal civilizational conflict.

Sick, these Poles are Russophobes, hysterical. Who will climb on you if you don't stick your nose yourself?

This is not a mriya. This is a mobplan - 1,2% of the livestock under the gun. The "talking head" sounded, it will be necessary to watch the "dynamics" - the return of the "urgent" in the form of "kmb / shss" (six months) or the obligation to retrain / training camps without being called up to the internal combustion engine.
Peacetime armies will end very quickly.

How is Poland-first ??? He offends Ukraine in his own words, because judging by the speeches of its rulers, she is an outpost of the West in the war against Russia! And Ukraine has been "fighting" for several years , however, Russia has not yet appeared for that war

[Cananecat]

It's just that Poland will be the very first to receive a response from NATO. It's the closest to fly to them. )))

Poles need to bargain with the EU and NATO. Now they are, in fact, ballast and they need a trump card to prove their usefulness in order to bargain more. So they talk about the call. As usual, the elite of people who are crazy about wealth (look at the Polish corruption scandals) are counting on improving their affairs at the expense of ordinary Poles. This is all capitalism.

Having located the American missile defense system on its territory, Poland has moved from the status of a country with a population disloyal to us, but which does not really bother us, to a country that, in the event of US aggression against Russia, will immediately become susceptible to at least a strike by tactical nuclear weapons, which will be used immediately the same on missile defense objects, before a retaliatory strike against the United States. We need to think about this, and not about what conscription the soldiers and how many will end up under nuclear ash (or as this ash).

[EDWARD]

The results of the largest staff exercises in Poland since the late 1980s must be taken into account. We are talking about exercises, during which it turned out that the state of affairs with ensuring the protection of Poland's borders today does not stand up to criticism. The Polish military leaders who played the operations in the General Staff brought the situation to a dead end, and there was only one way out of it - surrender to the conditional (according to the exercise scenario) enemy.

[Kamchatsky]

Poland is a NATO cover country and in the event of a war, it is Poland that will be the first to take the strike
And it seems to me that something will fly to the logs, and then for many years everyone will bypass this territory so as not to grab the radiation themselves.

All will not calm down ... they were not divided much. next time this issue may be closed for good.

[Orange bigg]

The Polish sense of superiority does not let them calm down. Here is the opinion of the Pole.

Russian success is a painful blow to the Polish sense of superiority over Russians. This complex is inherent in our society, it plays an important role in shaping our political views, influences our consumer decisions and cultural interests. Poles are treating their inferiority complex in relation to the mythologized West, convincing themselves that everything in Russia (from technology to art, popular culture and people) is worse than in Poland. Of course, this stems from ignorance.

A sense of superiority tempts Poles to practically ignore Russians, believing that they have nothing to offer the world. If we also take into account the low level of Russian language proficiency, even among the representatives of the older generation, who theoretically studied it at school, and the complete ignorance of it by the representatives of the middle and younger ones, we can say that the two neighboring peoples live in almost complete isolation from each other. Despite the new era of the Internet, an ordinary Pole, by and large, does not know how and what an ordinary Russian lives. The superiority complex contributes to the deepening of ignorance, ignorance leads to isolation, and it further deepens ignorance, allowing Poles to become stronger in the thought of their own superiority. The circle is closed.

In the days of my youth, everything to the east of Poland was associated with "Russians", and "Russians", as they said at the time, "with poverty and straw."

Such ignorance and scornful attitude not only to Russia's tough scientific and technical potential, which is directly related to the potential in the military sphere, but even to cultural “soft power” looks extremely surprising and at the same time very dangerous in the case of our people. Its elites claim to compete with the Russians, and even try to pursue a confrontational policy towards Russia, which could backfire for us. This is done both in the name of promoting "Western values" and under the influence of great-power dreams of their place on the "Baltic-Black Sea platform".

... The life of the post-Soviet ecumene remains a mystery to the Poles. Our sense of superiority, reborn into hostility or arrogance towards everything oriental, makes the inhabitants of this space shrug their shoulders, sometimes smile condescendingly or laugh at the "Polish masters". Those few residents who are generally interested in Poles and their complexes or intersect with us.

At the end of the day, this is an advantage.
Fewer soldiers, fewer casualties, faster surrender and a change of power to a wiser one - because it couldn't be more stupid

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

But what about Lithuania? She is on the main direction of the strike and she needs to help all NATA to protect her immunity. And in general the Balts, Poles and Ukrainians need to decide on the sequence and not rush ahead of everyone! Otherwise, NATA will not have enough used equipment for everyone.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

This general has a shell stuck in his head, or is he just a shameless liar.

Russia with a population of 147 million people and not the most powerful economy in the world, with all its will, will not be able to attack either the EU, where 450 million people live, or the United States with its 325 million population, and even less China with 1,5 billion . person.

Especially considering that the EU and the US are allies.

NATO surpasses Russia in terms of population 5 times, and even more in terms of the power of economies.

Under what conditions can Russia even theoretically count on victory ?! Yes, even under the USSR, we had a defensive doctrine, and now even more so.

So why is the Polish general so hysterical ?!

The answer is simple, Poland itself is preparing itself to take part in a new military intervention against Russia, and this general believes that victory will of course be for NATO, but worries that Poland will not break off from this, all will be snatched by the larger countries - the USA, Britain, Germany etc.

This is why the Polish general is recruiting himself a new and large army.

And we need to prepare for a global war, focus on the result, not on the process.

Russia, of course, needs conscription, but military service needs to be changed.

I propose to cancel all postponements, for health only for disabled people of the 1st group, the rest are all in line and for preparation.

But the passage of service is not organized for everyone in combat units, but for a number of most specialties (shooter, driver, signalman, etc.) in their regions on the basis of scientific centers, like an evening school. With visits to such centers several times a week for lectures, theoretical studies, practical exercises, shooting and exercises. The end of the preparation takes place after passing the qualifying exams, with real control and the assignment of a class and specialty.

For deviators and saboteurs - a criminal term and a mark in the military belet.

And now, who will serve in combat units, the conditions of service should be like those of contract soldiers with money to be content with everything else.

As a result, we will get a real prepared reserve of fighters, raise the prestige of the service and allow us to keep most of the young people engaged in educational and economic activities.

The point is that only beggars go to the army as today, and only one out of five, where most of the time they are engaged in household work is very small !!!

And if we close our eyes to this and do not change anything, then for us it will turn into a huge disaster.

Legions from the West and a horde from the East are already under our gates !!!

Every man in Russia should know and be able to use not only the Kalashnikov assault rifle, but also more sophisticated weapons and equipment.

There is no time to rock. Bridgeheads in the Baltics, Ukraine, Georgia, Alaska, Japan, Korea have already been created and they will soon strike.

Those who are now in the ranks will last for a couple of weeks, and then they will have to send those who either do not know how to do anything, or have not learned anything, or have forgotten everything.

[Zenn]

Yes, the population of NATO countries is many times greater than the population of the Russian Federation, just tell me who will fight there?
The Germans, so they have a memory from the 40s of the last century in the gene sits, at the words of Drang nach Osten, they have massive diarrhea, the French and the rest of the Europeans, are only ready to get together in a gang, in order to rob something in the East, as they did it during the Second World War, but they don't want to fight, they don't know how.
And who will lead them into battle Merkel or Ursula von der Leyen, funny, Minister of Defense with education in gynecology and economics?
In the last century, the Germans had selected military leaders, with experience, knowledge and skills and a desire to fight and force others to obey military orders, and any Sturmbannführer of the Wehrmacht of the last century, in terms of combat characteristics, is many times superior to Stoltenberg, the Fuhrer of their NATO.
Ukrainians, so 2014 showed that 80% of their servicemen in Crimea simply went to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, do you think in the event of real hostilities it will be different?
The Balts easily entered the USSR in 1940, in 1941 already in the Reich, and in 1944, again in the USSR.
They will also cross over and change their clothes on the go, only there will be no longer any national Baltic republics, everyone will go, voluntarily develop the Far Eastern hectare, let the farm economy be developed there, one farm and around dozens of hectares of forest, so let the forest brothers fight with bears.
The economic power of the West, Is it Tesla with a capitalization volume hundreds of times greater than its production volume?
Having bought Tesla shares for 1 dollar, you will wait for 1500 years of dividends to get back the spent dollar, this is power, this is the development of the economy.
Gazprom, Novatek, this is power, if tomorrow they stop gas supplies to Europe, then in two months, the EU economy will collapse at times.
And what will happen to countries without energy resources, Texas clearly showed everyone, green and blue and even pink energy did not help.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

You say so as if everyone in Russia will go to fight straight)).

Let's operate with facts, not slogans.

There are no more people willing to join the ranks voluntarily in Russia than in Europe or the United States.

And NATO will be led into battle by those who forced them to fight in Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and other countries - the United States.

Moreover, the United States is forcing both Georgians and Ukrainians to fight for their interests, who are not in NATO at all, but kept / are keeping contingents of several thousand people in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And who helped us in Syria from the CSTO countries? Maybe Lukashenko, who asks to give him tanks and airplanes for free, because he defends not only Belarus, but also Russia ?!

Nobody helped us and nobody will help us.

Russia today is a fortress country, and the enemy is already preparing for a siege and we have no one to expect help from.

We ourselves need to strengthen our defense and our economy.

But Ukraine in 2014, according to the plan of the "bloody" Yanukovych, was also supposed to switch to a contract army, they managed to drink up even the premises of the former military registration and enlistment offices, in exchange they received several waves of mobilization and canceled plans for a contract army by doubling the Armed Forces themselves ... As a result, Ukraine was unable to provide new subdivisions of В and ВТ, the entrance, DShK, Mosin rifles (for sniper units), JV "Maxim", ie. the entrance went to everything that was lying around in the far corners of long-term storage warehouses, there would be wick caramun pieces in the warehouses, they would also go to the troops ...

In the event of war, Poland must deploy at least 400-450 thousand soldiers to defend its interests.

I wonder what part of this mass of reservists Poland has V and VTs, uniforms, etc.
After the collapse of the Internal Affairs Directorate (the Polish Army's Army during the years of the Cold War had 11 MD), Poland famously and cheerfully drank the Soviet-style V and VT ...
If the numerical strength and combat strength of the Polish Armed Forces increases (most likely at the request of the Anglo-Saxons), then the Russian Federation will be forced to increase the term of military service in its Armed Forces to at least 1,5 years ...
NATO wants to increase the number of "live meat" in the armies of the former OVD ...

You really figure it out - who will be the first to "take the blow" ... Here Lithuania shouted that it was the first. Latvia, Estonia ...
