The purpose of the parade was to demonstrate the military power and confidence of Poland against the backdrop of a full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine, as well as to reassure Polish voters of the security of the country two months before the parliamentary elections.
The parade was attended by about 2,000 military personnel, 92 aircraft and 200 units of military equipment, including American M1A1 Abrams tanks, HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, Patriot air defense systems, as well as South Korean K2 tanks and self-propelled howitzers. .
Recall that on August 15, on the anniversary of Poland’s victory over the Bolshevik Red Army in the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, which the Poles sometimes call the “Miracle on the Vistula”, the neighboring country celebrates the Day of the Polish Army.
Poland has increased its defense spending from less than 2% of GDP in 2014 to 4% this year. Thus, Poland spends more than any other NATO country on defense in percentage terms. More than 50% of Poland’s investments are directed to new military equipment, as well as innovative research and development.
