A little thread about several issues related to those tanks:
“It will replace Poland’s old Russian T-72s and PT-91s”.
Well, no. It will replace T-72s probably only. We have three divisions with strong tank component and it seems that one division (18th, newly formed with two existing brigades and newly formed third) is getting M1s. It is unclear what happen with others. Most logical solution is moving all Leopards back to 11th division and PT91s shall be all in 16th div. There’s also another division 12th. That has only one tank battalion - it’s unclear what is plan for that unit.

Another issue is the fate of previous T-72 low cost overhaul program- contract has been signed and there’s question will it be done maybe for some reserve forces or just cancelled.

More important issue is the fact that government says the M1s shall be funded by separate fund than MoD ordinary budget - that’s fine but the real influence on MoD budget and resources is still in question. With ambitious land forces expansion plans.

There is not only need to upgrade existing units- especially AD (SHORAD and MRAD capabilities), mechanized infantry (BMP-1s need replacement ASAP ) anti tank defense etc but also creating new, for example.

Each division has AD regiment- with SA8s and SA6s - we need not only to replace them with new ones but buy additional ones for new fourth AD regiment.

So, while the purchase of new tanks is per se good news, much better would be upgrading other capabilities before purchasing new tanks. I’d more welcome extras funding for AD capabilities for example- it’s more urgent. And having in mind how many capabilities require upgrades.

Adding new tanks is something nice to have but only after other purchases are made. And there are serious doubts if we can afford for quantitive and qualitative development is something we can afford. Maybe quality should be given priority.

”The Polish army is beginning to move two mechanized brigades and an airborne brigade from the western half of the country to the training areas in the east.
“We increase our defense capability and control routines. Safety is our priority. ””
