Another batch of new M1A2 SEP v.3 Abrams tanks has been delivered to the Polish army.

Poland received its first batch of American aircraft this year. tanks The M1A2 SEP v.3 Abrams arrived by sea from the United States, according to Polish media reports.

The latest batch of M1A2 SEP v.3 Abrams tanks has arrived in Poland, marking the first delivery of the equipment this year. Last year, the Poles received four batches of the new tanks totaling 117 units, with the last arriving on December 2, 2025. The February batch included 29 new tanks. This brings the total number of M1A2 SEP v.3 Abrams tanks received to 146 out of the 250 ordered.

All equipment will undergo the necessary testing at a military plant in Poznań, after which it will be transferred to the 1st Warsaw Armored Brigade, stationed in Wesoła (a district of the Polish capital).

The contract for the supply of 250 new M1A2 SEP v.3 Abrams tanks to the Polish Army was signed in April 2022. The cost of the equipment and all associated components was $4,75 billion. The first batch of tanks was delivered to Poland in January of last year, and deliveries are expected to be completed in 2026.

As Warsaw previously stated, Poland intends to create the most powerful land army in Europe. While the Poles are more or less in good shape with their equipment, purchasing it and fielding it, the situation with personnel is much worse. Young people are unwilling to serve, and the country's Ministry of Defense is unable to meet its planned targets.

Russia will have to reach a deal with the West and halt the North Atlantic Defense Forces, because a war against the "shadow fleet" threatens to deal a painful blow to the Russian budget. This is the view expressed by former Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleg Tsarev. According to him, another possible path for Russia is retaliatory actions against the United States and its allies.

Tsarev is a very serious analyst.

Now all the bushes in Poland need to be trimmed, otherwise the tanks will get stuck there too.

I don't get it! What, the Poles are buying both Abrams and South Korean K2 Black Panthers? Where's the money coming from?

[Junior Private]

From the EU, of course. They don't give money to the Romanians and Greeks, but they feed the Poles. Honestly, I don't quite understand what theater of operations this overweight tank is for.

Poland surpassed the $1 trillion GDP mark, joining the global "Billionaires Club" in 2025, and forecasts indicate that nominal GDP will reach approximately $1,11 trillion in 2026.
Poland's GDP is growing steadily, while Russia's GDP sometimes falls and more often stagnates.

Among developed economies, the average debt ratio is approximately 113% of GDP, with Japan (230%), Italy (137%), and the United States (124%) leading the way. The average for emerging markets is approximately 74%. China (84%) and India (81%) have accounted for most of the increase in recent years.

Belarus ranks 145th globally in this ranking, with a 36% rate. Our neighbors rank as follows: Ukraine – 16th (109%), Poland – 78th (60%), Latvia – 114th (47%), Lithuania – 127th (42%), and Russia – 172nd (23%).

Capitalism arose in Catholic Europe, even before the advent of Protestantism... Orthodox cultures are a recent example of unsuccessful borrowing and imitation...

[bondov]

You can't change history by minus, for example, in the Russian Empire, industry was 80% foreign, and yes, recent statistics prove everything - in Russia after 1991, the average annual GDP growth was 1-1.5% for 35 years, and in Poland - 4%, and on average 6% per year over the last 20
years, the average annual growth of Russia's GDP over the past 20 years (approximately from 2005 to 2025) can be estimated at around 2-3%, with a fall in demand for raw materials from the Russian Federation, stagnation can be expected at best

All the data is available online.

If you're asking about downvotes, that's not for me. I haven't downvoted anyone for at least five years. Regarding production statistics, the figures are highly questionable. About 40% of the Russian Navy's fleet was built abroad, primarily at German and French shipyards. The legendary "Varyag" was actually built in the US, and the "Koreets" in Sweden. And forget about GDP; it doesn't reflect the real economy.

[bondov]

I'm just saying this, purely theoretically... I don't quite agree with you about GDP, since it's about value, about money, and someone - if I'm not mistaken - from the theoreticians of warfare, stated that war requires money, money, and more money...
Here is Tsarev's statement - he is a very serious person - check it out:

Russia will have to make a deal with the West and stop the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, because a war with the "shadow fleet" threatens to deal an extremely painful blow to the Russian budget.

The Poles and others will be indebted to the "helping" United States for the emerging strike force against Russia. Everything is on credit, with corresponding interest!

The interest will be paid in Polish blood. What is Poland being armed for? For war, for aggression. Next after the former Ukrainian SSR. Logs for the fire of war. Against Russia, Belarus and Germany. And against the Germans too.

[Wildcat]

Tanks are fine, they - in addition to rearming from T72/Tvarda and BMP1 to Abrams, K2 and Rosomak/Borsuk - are also deploying two full-fledged divisions, in addition to what they already have.

[Rafaello]

Where does the funding for such large-scale purchases come from? According to Russian economic portals, Poland's GDP grew by 4% in the last quarter. And this is at a time when the European average is effectively languishing, not exceeding 2%.
Contrary to popular belief, EU subsidies make up only a small part of these funds, as they are often not direct payments but low-interest loans.

[Yaro Polk]

I read somewhere that to service these tanks, they practically have to be taken back to Matrasnya.
Well...and let's hope that the Oreshniki operators know perfectly well where all this iron is stored on the territory of Psheki.

[Vladimirius]

But the bastards are preparing seriously and thoughtfully, although their main reliance is on American bases and their missiles, but nevertheless, the hyena is in full readiness

[Starover_Z]

The very first response to the article is very good! The Poles simply don't think about the future, probably have nothing to think about!

[bondov]

Yes, the depth of the answer is simply amazing - radiation does not magically
crosses the Polish border... and this is happening despite the extremely unfavorable wind conditions in the region for the Russian Federation... it smells like a madhouse...

[matsur]

You need tanks if you're confident nuclear weapons won't reach you. The other side of the coin is that lots of tanks will attract lots of nuclear weapons. And I don't think Poland needs that much to turn all their lands into a swamp. Well, if that's what the Poles want...

I don't think Poland needs much to turn all their lands into a ruined swamp. Well, if that's what the Poles want...

Obviously they do. Everything points to this. And Poland is full of Ukrainian-minded people. Those who fled Ukraine and Russia. Mostly young people. These are the ones who will be thrown to their deaths first.

Maintaining such a farm is very expensive. Plus, my hands are starting to itch. I don't think this will end well. One way or another...

[Rafaello]

While France debates, Germany limits itself to statements, and the Baltic states take a stance of observation, Poland is making large-scale purchases of tanks, barrel and rocket artillery, submarines, anti-UAV systems, and other types of weapons.
In this regard, the American media often notes that Poland is acquiring a role comparable to the status of West Germany during the Warsaw Pact, becoming a key state in the event of a potential clash between the West and the East."
