Ukraine and Poland will cooperate in the defense industry

26
A meeting was held in Warsaw between representatives of the ministries in charge of the Polish and Ukrainian defense industries, as well as heads of the largest enterprises in this industry.

Arturo Babenko, deputy. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, in his speech at the forum, noted that the countries did not sufficiently use existing opportunities for cooperation and called on enterprises of the defense-industrial complex to “stop talking and start acting”. In addition, he noted that the defense complex enterprises of the two countries have a huge scientific and technical potential, but they lack specificity - specific projects and affairs.

“Our main task to avoid past mistakes is not to address the issue in a bureaucratic manner,” Babenko added and assured that companies can count on the support of the defense ministry in this area.

Waldemar Skrshak, deputy. the Polish defense minister said that in the 2013-2022 years, the Polish authorities plan to spend about 40 billions of dollars on the modernization of the army. He noted that many orders will be fulfilled by enterprises of the defense complex of Poland, but added that they will not be able to fully cope with this task. This opens up opportunities for Ukrainian companies.

The most promising for Ukraine in this cooperation will be aviation industry. Poland, according to Skipshipak, is interested in modernizing aircraft in Ukraine (MiG-29 aircraft that are still in service with the Polish army, as well as Mi-8, Mi-24 helicopters). In addition, countries will engage in the joint production of military equipment to enter the military markets of third countries. In addition, lessons learned will enable countries to work together on new navigation and radar systems. Among other things, Skshipak invited Ukrainian enterprises to take part in a project to create a platform for armored vehicles.

Ukraine and Poland will cooperate in the defense industry




The Minister noted: "Our cooperation confirms that it is worth developing."

In turn, Igor Odralov representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stressed that Ukraine is interested in the Polish experience in the implementation of some projects and can offer their own development that will interest Poland. In addition, Ukrainian enterprises can modernize Polish technology, participate in the development of new projects, and also be engaged in the joint production of technology.

Pavel Soroka, a representative of the PLP organization (“Polish Industrial Lobby”), said that several dozen defense industry enterprises of both countries participate in the one-day forum. Soroka noted that the purpose of the forum was to provide an opportunity for Ukrainian and Polish companies to establish direct contacts, which should later develop into concrete projects.

The forum was organized with the assistance of the Embassy of Ukraine in Poland.

          The neighbor has envious eyes and raking hands. It is enough to listen to the statements of the neighboring politicians, watch the neighbor’s television, recall the constant accusations and claims, recall the story of Tuzla, etc.

      in spite of the fact that the translator gives the meaning to the word "galuz" - branch, from Ukrainian "galuz" - branch.
      As for the article, my personal opinion is that the matter in Polish-Ukrainian relations will not go further than the accented repair of aircraft and helicopters in the article. The Poles have no desire to invest loot in Ukrainian developments, even despite the desire of Ukrainians to sell these developments.

        Poland had a powerful defense industry. Now they are reviving it and it makes sense for the two neighboring friendly states to work in the field of defense. The completely closed process of releasing weapons is hardly cost-effective for such countries with small armies, and two or three Slavic countries can cooperate on their complexes. Naturally, a geopolitically non-aligned Ukraine has fewer interests in the development of weapons with the Czech Republic or Slovakia, although the same rights as in the development with Belarus and Russia

        Dear Akim. At the end of the 80s / beginning of the 90s, I was not allowed to go to Canada- army, production (the first form of admission).
        And the call was made by an acquaintance / colleague who left Kharkov for Severomorsk (also an electronics engineer). How he got to Canada (during the Soviet era) with a "0" form, I still don't know.
        And now this is not a problem.
        Regarding the Lefties. A classmate (by the way, a Lenin scholarship holder) asked for a certain package of documents under grants from the FRG 20 years ago. The result is neither money nor a "guarantor". And the Germans received unique developments of the department. And the documents were labeled "ДСП."

    In Ukraine, a powerful military-industrial complex remained. It’s not necessary for its own needs, Russia is shutting down on its own, each year building up its own production and repair. What should Ukraine do? Of course, you can, as some complain, fold the legs and slowly to the bottom. But we somehow need to live. I understand that after all, the Russian people are closer than the Poles. But since Russia is not needed, it means they are looking for the one with whom it is possible. He is Russia, also not in Belarus, or in Kazakhstan, but in Jordan has opened a plant for the production of RPG-32. What, are Arabs closer to them than the Slovens? No. Just a business interest.
