Experienced soldiers are leaving the army, but there is no proper number of recruits - in Poland they spoke about the state of the troops

The Polish Ministry of Defense states that the current size of the country's armed forces "is not optimal for confronting complex threats." Earlier, the head of the Polish military department, Mariusz Blaszczak, said that the best option is a 250-strong Polish Armed Forces, including a 50-strong contingent of territorial defense forces. However, now, as it turns out, the rate of increase in the number of troops does not reach the planned level.

Polish observer Marek Kotsubal writes about the state of the troops with reference to the report on the execution of the budget in terms of national defense.

Kotsubal:

Minister Blaszczak said that the Polish army should be larger in order to ensure the unity and sovereignty of the country and to scare off a potential aggressor. But the whole problem is that experienced servicemen are leaving the army, and there is no proper number of recruits.

An author in the Polish press writes that if the trend continues, the number of troops may decline in the coming years. It may well reach the point that there will be no one to pass on the accumulated professional experience.

It is indicated that at the moment the number of directly military personnel in the Polish Armed Forces is significantly less than the number of military personnel in the armies of other countries of the continent, including not only Britain, France and Germany, but also Ukraine.

In Poland, they see the problem in the fact that young people today are not attracted to military service. In a country in civilian life, you can be more financially successful than in the army. In addition, Polish youth are "scared" away from service by the fact that in the end, as part of the combined NATO contingent, one can end up far outside Poland, as it has already happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now the Polish military contingent has been withdrawn from these countries, but in Poland they believe that NATO may well find another option for the "extraterritorial" deployment of Polish troops.

" Experienced soldiers are leaving the army, but there is no proper number of recruits "

A-y-yay ... Who should we put on the "Abrams" now?

And ... The question is not entirely on the subject of the article - Where in Poland can one find so many blacks to replace the loader in the Abrams?

[Finches]

In principle, the Polish army is not badly combat-ready and can create problems, but the number of the Polish Ground Forces is not enough to provide the density of troops necessary for the defense of the Polish-Russian border and the Polish-Belarusian border (which is about 600 km). To build up forces and resources, a lot of money is needed, which Poland does not have. Territorial defense brigades are inexpensive but ineffective units due to their poor equipment. Poland understands all this very well, so their only hope in the military confrontation with Russia is the help of NATO allies, mainly the United States and Germany, but the "wise" policy of the Polish leadership in constant attacks on Germany can nullify such assistance!

Replace "Poland" with "Ukraine" and you will see it clearly.

And more ... I know exactly what kind of Ukraine, neither the United States, nor NATO, nor even more so Germany will fight with us.
It seems that for Poland - too

Actually, you, Ukraine, think that you have reached such a level of development of the Armed Forces that you intend to completely cancel the call

[Andrey Chizhevsky]

But the main thing here is that no one is going to attack the pshek. Against the background of painful Russophobia, this is an ordinary yell towards the EU, “Give me money!” Here Poland is competing with a very “nezalezhnaya” one - who will cry louder about “Akhressor”.

They will buy in Nigeria, the guys are healthy there.

Why buy? Look how many of them climb into Europe across all borders: to catch with lassos and tash in the Polish army, or whatever it is called.

- including the 50-thousandth contingent of territorial defense troops

So they are not the only ones with such problems .... On the other hand, someone is going to attack them? Sit under the wing of a vulture and do not chirp, otherwise once again all the feathers are pulled out and stretched out by the legs.

and to scare off a potential aggressor.

Well, that's what it says, "just scare away" .... And everyone fled in fright. Great logic, Greater Poland.

"Aggressive Russia" with a 60-thousandth border has 160 citizens per serviceman. And in "peaceful Poland" they want to bring it up to 150. Hmm ... "Entertaining military arithmetic".

Poles, for some time now do not like AV Suvorov and therefore act contrary to his behest - "Not by number, but by skill", in its own way -"Not by skill, but by number"

ensure the unity and sovereignty of the country and that scare off a potential aggressor

The ending especially smiled. Do they themselves understand what they are talking about? Or it’s not important, but it’s important to once again mention the "aggressor" who for some reason doesn’t attack. A cloudy mind, vague thoughts and an excess of Russophobia against the background of covid are a powerful cocktail.

[Mountain shooter]

And what, a 200-strong group, spread over 600 km of the border, will be able to hold something? One serviceman per 3 meters of the front, including staff, rear and cooks? These are not wartime armies at all.

Ha. Poland is supposed to have 250 thousand. military personnel for 600 km (the sum from the borders of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus), we have 3,5 times more on the border 100 (one hundred) times longer. We have 60+ meters per person.

Yes, they understand this, but it is necessary to look at it and show all of Europe that it is necessary.

So what's the problem? Let them legally summon the ragul from 404, and they will tumble in droves, at the same time the LDNR will be easier, + quickly teach the Polish army how to plump / get drunk and run with more / less resistance

Why would such a small country like Poland need such a large (250 thousand) army?

250 thousand in terms of their 38 million. the population is about the same as ours. And almost as much as in Austria. Well, the number of kilometers of the border is also similar.

Well, about sovereignty, it is clear that they would not be violated from the outside, but they have the country's unity on the bayonets of the army ...

I don’t understand how their learning process is structured. Aren't there schools for the commanding staff? Isn't there an exercise? They have cool owners overseas, with experience, they will teach.
