Poland is now preparing for war in the hopes of deterring it from ever happening in the first place. They intend to double their land forces to a staggering 300,000 personnel over the next 5 years. Seeking to stop people from claiming they accidentally invaded Poland. To put this into context once it is completed Poland's military will be larger than the French and German forces combined. Which makes sense because a lot is at stake for them. Polish Prime minister Tusk said quote “We are living in the most critical moment since the end of World War II.
The next two years will decide everything,” He’s referring to how the war in Ukraine waging on their borders turns out and how successful their military modernization ends up being. Poland aims to achieve this gigantic goal by raising their defense spending to 4% of GDP or $133 billion dollars over 5 years; it's the highest percentage in the entire NATO alliance. It’s like their throwing out their old military and replacing it with a brand new one.
Already taken in 1.3 million refugees from ukraine. All of this is why I want to answer, what challenges Poland’s defense modernization effort will face? Which types of unique weapons systems will they need to invest in? which strategies will they deploy on the tactical level?

Why Poland is preparing for war: History
"Ah yes, the past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can run from it or learn from it" _Rafiki_
Yeah main bully of Europe for couple centuries, not Russia, no, it were Poland, but people like to forget parts of history they don't like
Yep. They illegally annexed the West Ukraine, Belarus and a half of Lithuania in the 1920th when Russia was in the middle of the civil war.
Then they made a Pikachu face when Stalin got those lands back in 1939. And pay attention, those lands are still in respective countries to this very day for the joy of the locals.
@@RustedCroaker Is that why most of today's Eastern Europe strongly dislike Russia, but at the same time Eastern Europe has no quarrel with Poland?
@@henryfan48 They "dislike Russia" in the CIA sponsored NGOs only.
Otherwise they admire everything Russian. Talking from the personal experience.
Respect to Poland🇵🇱 from Korea🇰🇷 I recently learned that Poland has a lot in common with Korea in terms of history. Can't change what's already happened, but we sure can prepare for what's to come. Honored that our arsenal will help defend a fellow independent, sovereign nation.
We have two difference, we are extinct nation for 123 years.....
Also u can build nuclear weapon in maybe 6 month,
Thanks man! I`m glad that We`re not buying just from the US. I mean US tech is great and all but it feels different when You have a deal with someone that actually knows what it means to have difficult history and uneasy borders. Stay safe over there bros ;)
Thanks Koreabro. Let's work together for safer future
Poland is a trable maker.
When talking about the history of Poland, I would like Poland to be presented not only as conquered and as a weak country that must defend itself because everyone conquered it, but the entire history of Poland to be presented, because there was a time when Poland was also one of the most powerful country in Europe
Ex 🇬🇧 military...I love the Polish.... Very brave hard working people.... They piloted the RAF planes in WWII and we have many Polish people in 🇬🇧🇬🇧 and there welcome ....
I'm Polish and I'm reading these comments and I'm impressed. I thought that the West thought about us completely differently. But this is only propaganda and thinking in stereotypes. Back to the topic. I don't know if you've heard of the 303 Squadron defending the English skies against the Nazis? There is an interesting book by a man who met Polish pilots in England and wrote a book about them: Arkady Fiedler 'Squadron 303'
Thank you!❤ Greetings from Edinburgh 😊
And British to make a sure that they won't upset Russia they said great thank you to Poland after polish pilots helped them to defend their country..and not only that ..In whole history happened just once that country that helped other country was charged for the help that got... British charged Poland 107 650 000 in Polish gold reserves..for help that they got ...fxx twisted British
@@marcinchmielewski6403 Most Brits love the Poles. We see them as hard working, good people and we are sympathetic to their history.
@@mattinterweb I like it and we have to break stereotypes. Best regards.
I have lived and worked in Poland many times; definitely one of my favourite countries. I made friends with many there, and it was interesting talking about their history. They were saying that the Poles are a proud people, but that comes at a price. A joke one of them told me was that a Pole was praying and asked God “Why did you make such a beautiful place, with rivers, lakes and fertile farmland just for us?” And God answered “Wait until you meet your neighbours.” Their history is a rather sad one, at one point their nation was split up three ways between the Prussians, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires for centuries. Reborn out of the ashes of the First World War only to be invaded by the Soviet Union within weeks of the guns going silent on the Western Front. They repelled the Soviet aggression in 1920 and enjoyed a 19 year period of uneasy peace. 1939 brought the two front war between the Nazis and the Soviet Union, occupation, Operation Barbarossa, Soviet occupation and Communist rule until 1989. I think they have a right to be a little uneasy. It’s a beautiful country in a bad neighbourhood. I can fully understand their defence spending.
Well history is not only 100 years ago. At the end of the XVI's the poles where running over russia in Moscow (that period is know in russian history as the "troubled times). They are not poor little angels. They are aggressive by nature. Ask their neighbours.
Thank you very much for your open-mindedness and your willingness to learn about our history, but also to understand us Poles. Unfortunately, as a nation, we have been through a lot and that is why we can be quite reserved towards strangers at first (the younger generation has not experienced terrible things and are much more open) and stubborn, sometimes too stubborn. We know that but it's the result of all those wars and occupation by Germans and/or Russian orcs.
The story of people of East and West Prussia before they were completely wiped out (around 12 million German people in total) their culture, their architecture, arts, language was a lot more unique and fascinating than what was replaced with after the war ended.
As a Ukranian, I can assure U that fights on polish territory was a retaliation of Poland invading neighboring countries. They attack Ukraine many times on their way to Russia and always were pushed back all the way to Poland. Not many like Poles cuz they start shit then cry when they get their asses kicked. Red Army lost 600k soldiers liberating Poland and to thank them, they rknocking down memorials of the fallen soldiers.
Soviet Union did not exist in 1920 by the way. It was all part of Russian civil war, after two revolutions and abdication of the tsar.
Poland is like the kid that was bullied and now lives in the gym.
Edit: WW3 has started not in Poland but in the comments!
Do you even lift bros! 😒😎
Depends on the era Poland conquered Moscow in 1612 and in 1683 Poland drove the Turks out of Vienna.
@@Aleks96 Sure but that was back when everyone was being aggro. Poland today doesn't WANT to go to war, unlike ALL of Europe back in the 1600's. They are prepared and preparing for war to avoid it. The best deterrence is a well armed population, well trained volunteer army, and well prepared country. Poland learned in WWII what the Russians will do to people even in this modern "enlightened" (ha!) era.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket

Pretending Poland can run with the big dog is comical like the rest of Europe everything was handed to UKRAINE MONTHS AWAY FROM TOTAL SURRENDER. KHARKIV just exposed the millions handed over to build defences has all vanished through fake companies created using the names of Ukrainian citizens who have no idea their name was used. Poor Forest still being fed the CIA handouts. Latest Russia has now taken 20 villages around KHARKIV without much of a fight the UkroNazis have fled troops left are surrendering.

This is impressive, kurwa. Europe needs a country that actually takes its defence seriously. Poland certainly does. Greetings from neighbouring Lithuania.
Poland is turbocharging every conceivable "western value" RN = It will catch up with Sweden, Germany, French and UK in "diversity" in just few years instead of decades. Getting turned into a buffer zone is paradise in comparison.
Lithuania has some impresive politicians though, respect from pl
We do pretty okay too here in Lithuania, we are just very very much smaller in size and population compared to the brothers in Poland.

Many people are not aware that the height of Polish power was when they had a commonwealth with Lithuania and dominated much of Europe.
They have the components to be a world powerhouse again if they make the right decisions, especially as many other Western nations are declining.
I just have to mention that the borders of Poland and Lithuania were significantly different from today. The so-called "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" included the eastern territories of Poland, a large part of Ukraine, Baltic states (including today's Kaliningrad) & the entire territory of Belarus. Perhaps this national community will be able to be rebuilt on modern conditions soon (a common enemy unites our countries). Unfortunately, so far except for Belarus...
Wow, as a Pole I must say I am impressed with the quality of this video. I can see as a person who is interested in the military modernization of the Polish army that the author took a lot of effort to make this video. He captured the motivation that stands behind our massive army investment, almost as if he were a Polish citizen himself. Well done, great video!"

I understand why Poland 🇵🇱 is becoming a powerhouse in Europe. I don’t know much about the history before WW2 but when your country has been invaded by a ruthless (Hitler) regime like the Nazis, millions of your people dead, then immediately be taken over by someone more ruthless (Stalin) for 50 years, I’d say that’s a damn great reason to build your military so that history doesn’t repeat itself.
I applaud the Polish people for doing what they have to and need to, to protect their sovereignty. God bless Poland 🇵🇱!
Finally someone who has common sense and says the truth that Stalin was worse than Hitler, you're welcome to Poland anytime mate
@@XMfranchiseStudios Yam, delicious propaganda

I was in Warsaw last month. Its a very nice, modern city. If you go there you have to know that the Polish people have no intention of allowing themselves to be made a Russian vassal.
Polish fan here. Thanks Chris for the episode! Including our sayings was a nice touch
Of course ! Big fan of Poland :)
One key takeaway is that Germany cannot be relied upon to be a key weapons supplier to the EU, they have too many restrictions on sale and resale and their production capacity is limited whereas Poland can start offering essentially the gen 4.5 (in aircraft terms) tanks and IFV's without these political shenanigans as a way to recoup costs and keep their skills and industrial base alive without solely relying on domestic orders. They also provide a cost effective alternative to the USA who for many systems has extremely long lead times or the systems they offer are near end of life and are due to be replaced by in development alternatives.
Crazy that the Germans are the problem given their History 😂
@@user-ue6zx2do2fhahaa no it‘s because bureaucracy and inefficiency. The politicians are mostly in favor of more weapons, the money is a big problem though
Germany is in its apologist bitch mode similar to Japan before it started taking China seriously.
Germany is the second weapons donor to Ukraine after the USA.
one key takeaway of the nonsense you are colporting is that you dont know what youre talking about. Germany is STILL and has been for decades the 5th largest weapons exporter in the world. Poland isnt even on the list. Btw the G3 is the most proliferated gun in the world aside of the AK47/74.
"Nie strasz, nie strasz, bo się zesrasz." - another Polish proverb.
Poland has seen this movie before, and it wasn't a Phantom Menace.
we critisized that movie when it came out, now with kathleen kennedy and woke groomers at Disney turning it into "the message", we look back and wish we had those bad star wars movies again. Disneys new strategy, produce cringe leftist propaganda with light sabers then call anyone that doesn't praise their "courage" a supremacist. the gas lighting is intense in the west yet i still rather live there than hell holes like russia or a country alligned wtih tiny bald putins russia. outside of Democrat ran cities and states it's very pleasant to live and isn't like San Fran or LA seen on tv.

Hi, from Poland
I just wanted to say how it is kind of ironic when you started to say about invasions of Poland and begun with the footage of battle of Grunwald. The Greatest victory in Polish history, when we invaded Teutonic Order + the largest battle in medieval history of european continent.
Other NATO and EU counties should reserve part of their defense budget for purchasing weapons for Poland. If the war breaks out, it makes sense for the weapons to be where they are needed. Or even better, offer to station international forces in Eastern Poland.
Best wishes to Poland. They are to be admired for their foresight.

@@VGYugo idiotic comment
@@Machine_Cult why because it is true?
As a Brit I am in pure envy of Poland, For some reason the UK will not invest in already exising systems used by the US and South Korea ect. and for some reason continues to develop their own while taking the old equipment out of service leaving a hole and then replacing it with less of but better newer equipment they are also making tiny cuts to save pennies on the pound which is just shrinking everything down and these cuts mean retention of those in service is awful and the military personell has almost halved in 10 years. It's in dissaray and they need to decide wether to shrink properly, specialise and be elite in specific areas to assist allies extremely effectivley (this relies on NATO) or to increase funding and become a heavy fighting power (Less reliant on NATO) and it needs to make a decision quickly. I think Poland is awesome :).

@@Goorood A clown would make a statement like that. Poland was under occupation for how many hundreds of years? Poles fought on every side of every war in Europe, in the name of their occupier. They gain their independence, stop the communists from spreading to the rest of europe and conquering Poland in 1921. 19 years later WW2 breaks out. In those 19 years they had to rebuild their country and prepare for a war meanwhile their neighbors have an easy 100 year head start in terms of factories and industry. In those 27 days they fought the Germans in the West, South and North. 15 days after the Nazis invaded, the Russians said HELLO from the east. Molotov ribbentrop pact, cha ching. Poles fight in practically every major European battle in the western front afterwards, conquer monte cassino, and in return they arent allowed to march in the victory day parade. The brits even charged them IN GOLD from every single round of ammunition and etc used during the war. Your ancestors should have used condoms.
RAF 302nd and 303rd squadrons, WW2 - Experienced Polish fighter pilots in exile who were unable to stand up to the Luftwaffe using Polands 1920s aircraft but did exceptionally well once in the newer Hurricanes.
@@GooroodFrance was attacked from every side beside sea by its neighbours without any warning?
Poland is aware that it is surrounded by treachery and needs to be able to defend against multiple attacks on multiple fronts and also must do offense. Remember that Poland never surrendered during WW II. While the army was defending against the Blitzkrieg, Russia invaded. The Polish army went to Africa and attacked the Axis there, then fought their way up Italy. The Polish air forces defended Dunkirk and the UK. It was evil for the US and UK to award Poland to the USSR as a prize for having started the war by invading Poland
Sir,may I have the honour to respond? Churchill only had one demand for Stalin, and that was for free elections in Poland after the war. Stalin always said “yes” until the red army occupied Poland and he then installed his own government. We weren’t helped by the USA because Roosevelt thought keeping Stalin happy was more important than Polands liberty. Roosevelt was desperate for Stalin to join the war against Japan, but that is no excuse. We British were horrified by Polands fate as we had fought side by side with Poles since the start of the war. The best fighter pilots in the RAF were the two Polish squadrons, we remember the Polish victory at Monte Cassino, the destruction of the Germans at the Falaise Pocket and General Sosabowskis paratroopers rescuing our paratroopers at Arnhem. My country owes Poland a debt of honour that is too big to ever be repaid,but I believe we will stand with Poland forever. God bless Poland from 🇬🇧
I agree with you. Poland is surely aware that her current allies are undergoing internal strife, and could possibly be completely unable to function as allies as they deal with internal threats. These allies could suddenly become enemies when internal political shifts occur.
No kidding. For the Allies to give Poland to the godless tyrant Stalin was treacherous and disgraceful.
@@erikriza7165we didn’t give it to him,he conquered it with his red army. What were we supposed to do? Start ww3 while still fighting ww2 against the Japanese?
I agree with everything you said, except that the US & UK were evil towards Poland. Please tell me what they could've done to change what happened?? Stalin wasn't removing his army's without a fight & neither the US nor UK could've taken the country without all out war with Russia & nobody wanted that
It's amazing how well informed you are and how nice you present that knowledge to the audience. Big respect!
Great video. One note: 70k personnel is just for land forces and just for actuall combat personnel. In total it's about 115k. And if you add air forces, navy, special forces etc (without 35-40k Territorial Defense) it's about 180k. Still a long way to go to reach that 300k. Honestly I think we'll settle on 250k active and 50k reserve. Plus about 45k Territorial Defense.
Cheers!

Poland's national motto is "Hippity Hoppity, Stay The Hell Off Our Property"
polish national motto is "make as many patriotic videos as possible to make the plebs believe in the power of poland". In fact, if Ukraine had not stopped russia, russian troops would have reached the English Channel becouse Western folks do not want to die in war.
Poland always folds and loses.
Nah, Poland's motto is "I love stealing money from the rest of the EU (especially Germany) while crying about my victim status"
@@peterc4082When did they fold?
1772 and ever since then.
Seriously thanks for this. You did a very good job. Well done
He does an awesome job on these videos - very informative and peppered with humor! Outstanding!🙂
Damn! You are really hitting your stride, Cappy! Another excellent video and discussion of an evolving issue. Poland may have challenges in meeting its current objectives for defense and the social sector, but it’s at least got the right attitude. Much more confident in Poland doing what’s necessary than Germany, for example. Also, Poland doesn’t have to go it alone outside of the defense sector. Much of its planning will require a large, highly trained workforce. People everywhere are looking for good, well-paying jobs, and I’m sure many would be willing to fill in any gaps in that area where available. Great video, look forward to the next!
Nice video! Can you also do a video on Romania modernizing it's army too? I think it will make an interesting video since Romania is also close to the danger of Russia, especially with Moldova and Transnistria right at the border.

Great video! Also some killer animations going on there!!
Poland remember what happened in 1939. My Poland friend said his grandfather's entire family was killed after Nazi and Stalin invaded. His father survived by escaping to France.
Not many people know that it was Russian and Germany together that started WW2 in September 1939, they had a secret pact. In fact, it is Russia that has done the most evil over the last few hundred years, by far much more than the Nazis. And they continue to this day, it seems to be in the Russian genes to be evil.

Антирашист Твой поросячий визг мне нравится. Что ещё можешь прохрюкать?
I've held for a while that Poland has surpassed Germany in the role of "protector of Europe". For far too long, Germany has neglected their military for decades due to some weird echoing blowback from the time of the Nazis. Meanwhile Poland has looked at their past and went "We will never be a speedbump to anyone ever again."
And I'm fully behind it. If anyone was to try and invade Poland, we need to be there, in person, to fight side by side with them. Not only are the Poles responsible for helping to save Western Civilization as we know it from the Ottomans during the Siege of Vienna in 1683, the Poles were here, helping us fight to win our independence. We're honor bound, regardless of any commitment to NATO, to return the favor and help them fight to keep theirs, if the need was to arise.
In fact, all that aid money needs to stop at the border. Poland should be the one getting it. And instead of retiring our F-22s, as the Air Force has proposed, they should be given to Poland. If we don't want them, give them to someone who can use them.
With the history of Germany its propably a good thing, and saying this country is a good idea to be a Europe protector then they tried so many times to conquer it, is ironic.
the amount of effort to make this video is incredable!
Nice video, greetings from Poland !
Poland used to be a punchline. Now they’re punching above their weight. Good job Poland 🇵🇱. Stay frosty.

Even if they were the punchline, that just means they never punched below the belt. Unlike some of their neighbors.
They did though: they participated in the partitioning of Czechoslovakia along with the Austrian painter
Thanks for the IMAX plug, I will definitely have to watch that! 👍
In the UK, we love Poland! 🇵🇱
loved all the polish proverbs, would you use these "inserts" for every country, in every videos, it would only add to your humoristic side !
thank you for your amazing work
The Poles are going full on FAFO mode. Good on them. Big up my Polish bros. 💪
sadly
To the contrary, I'm going full "I will never sacrifice for this shit" mode.
Homeboys are polishing up the winged harnesses and tacking up the horses. Hope Putin's ego doesn't force them to employ the pimp hand.
Why anyone supports bs is beyond me. The last thing we need is another nation entering the fray. This can be solved in one day. By having the US and NATO telling their monkey to stand down. It's over. They lost.
Bros? Oh.... You should see what our girls do at shooting range and ASG xD
ANOTHER fantastic and well thought out video. The channel keeps improving!!
Good analysis video on Poland.......can you also do one for Romania regarding this geostrategic moves and preparations for war ???
Poland fought tooth and nail to get away from the Russians, they definitely don't want to go under their boot again, even if most of who lived under the Soviet repression are now dying out.
"Kings and Generals" channel also just posted a video about key period of Polish history that focuses on a "Liberum Veto" period.
Thank you for above video T&P!
Yep, got it on my feed too and watched it before this one 👌
Liberum veto, or how to fuck up your country using only two words.
Cappy, so glad you are reading all those many pages reports “so I don’t have to.” Thanks! Keep up the great work! This was a very good and informative video. Bravo!
Fajny materiał. Dzięki.
I like the way you used various Polish proverbs to highlight different topics :)
"We've got Poland" hits different now
The best way to avoid war is to be so powerful that no sane country would fight you.
24:30 yes, no war has ever been won by defense. A potent offense is required to win a war.
Peace through strength. The problem with that is an arms war though.
PEACE THROUGH POWER!
Poland won in 1920 by defending actually against russia
poland is part of nato, thats in total powerful or more powerful than russia, wtf u mean
Respect for Poland from USA 👍🏻
The Polish people have endured so much over the years. It makes me very happy to see them invest in protecting themselves. The past has show when Poland needed help no one showed up.
True.🤔
Polish guy here, I think I must say something about our unofficial military policy.
We seek not to start a war, but we will stop at nothing to finish it. :)
Except for our shitty government which constantly tries to provoke the war, its just us sane people who do not want war.

Excellent content again
Awesome video, also the selection of the proverbs :D Including the bad apples like populism and lack of securing of the funding - it is all valid.
But what I like in this video in particular is outlining the importance of Sweden and Finland in NATO. Finland joining with their experience and fierceness as well as close proximity to strategic targets in this part of Russia thins out the border pressure. Sweden with its doctrine and independent mil. tech to match it is like a Joker in the Baltic theatre, also freeing up the worries about the navy.
Conventional threat is way lower for Poland thanks to that. Let's just focus on the hybrid one for now.
Man is Wolf to Man!
Old Polish Proverb and a good Polish book about WW2 from a Polish perspective and being a Pole sent to a Gulag!
Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
This is the biggest farce I ever seen in my life. Trust me if Poland wins you will have the left wing take over and American companies take over and turn your country into a 3rd world stop spot. With all the immigration that's going to go in might as well change the name Poland into Afro-land or Afghan-land. Poland will be bllllaaacked. You're better off speaking Russian for a little while in your history then becoming African.
Don't believe me? Just look at Ireland right now big guy.
