Poland frequently "shows off its muscles" to showcase its military strength

2023-08-31

Recently, the US government has approved the sale of 96 Apache attack helicopters to Poland. Following the large-scale purchase of weapons and equipment, Poland recently held its largest military parade in decades, continuously adjusting its military deployment, and repeatedly increasing troops to the border between Poland and Belarus. Poland frequently "shows its muscles", which is not only a response to the complex security environment caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but also intended to show its military strength and send a deterrent signal. According to reports, in recent times, the Polish government has announced an increase in troops on the Polish White border, citing the violation of Polish airspace by Belarusian helicopters. In response, the Belarusian side stated that the so-called helicopter crossing is "nonsense", and Poland is seeking excuses for its military buildup in the border area. At present, the situation on the border between Poland and Belarus continues to be tense, and Poland plans to send 10000 soldiers to the border area with Belarus. In the past two years, the Polish government has regarded coping with the threats and challenges brought about by the Russia-Ukraine conflict as its top priority in the security field. To this end, Poland has launched multiple large-scale military purchases. For example, purchasing two "Global Eye" warning aircraft from Sweden, 180 K2 main battle tanks, 48 FA-50 light twin fighter jets from South Korea, and 116 second-hand M1A1 "Abrams" main battle tanks from the United States. Poland has also announced an increase in its military strength to 300000, significantly expanding its military spending. This year, its military spending has increased to 4% of GDP, making it the country with the highest proportion of military spending to GDP among NATO member countries. In fact, over the past 10 years, Poland has always attached great importance to improving the combat effectiveness of its military, especially the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has prompted Poland to accelerate its military strength building and once claimed to build "the most powerful military in Europe". Poland is adjacent to Ukraine. After the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, Poland firmly stood on Ukraine's side. Poland is not only one of the most active and resolute countries in providing weapons support to Ukraine, but also one of the main channels for the international community to provide weapons assistance to Ukraine. At the same time, Poland has also received a large number of Ukrainian refugees, provided economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, and used political, diplomatic and other means to participate in or try to influence the process of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. For many years, Poland has been at the forefront of NATO's military deployment and demonstration of deterrence. Since joining NATO in 1999, Poland has been at the forefront of NATO's eastern region. During the easing of NATO Russia relations, Poland's identity and functions were often weakened. But once NATO Russia relations deteriorate, Poland becomes a bridgehead for NATO Russia confrontation. The Russia-Ukraine conflict that broke out last year once again pushed Poland to the forefront of the confrontation between NATO and Russia. The Polish government raised the risks faced by the eastern border to a new height. Closer cooperation with NATO in various forms became Poland's basic policy, such as military exercises. Every once in a while, Poland conducts military exercises alone or with some neighboring countries to maintain military vigilance and enhance the targeting of military operations. In May of this year, Poland held a large-scale national military exercise, which was also carried out in cooperation with military exercises from countries such as the United States and Sweden, with the aim of exercising and enhancing Poland's collaborative combat capabilities with NATO countries.
