Poland talks three submarines

The Poland’s Armade Modernization Program called Orka has continued for more than ten years and provides for the purchase of three submarines worth several billion euros. Seven companies from France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Italy and South Korea have fought for the right to provide submarines. Rzeczpospolita reported this.

After examining the proposals for a variety of conditions, including technical parameters, transmission terms and financing, Germany (Thyssenkrupp marine systems), Sweden (SAAB) and Italy (Fincanteni) entered the leaders.

However, France does not leave an attempt to return to the game. In the coming weeks, negotiations have been planned between the governments of Poland and France in possible cooperation. Representatives of the French company Naval Group said they have high decisions that may be interested in Warsaw, but avoid comments about intergovernmental negotiations.

Poland plans to decide on choosing a supplier until September this year, if a Keltsi defense exhibition is held. In the case of successful negotiations, the contract can be signed at 2025-2026, but the first delivery is expected not earlier than 2032.

Remember that Poland from the United States received the first 28 Tanks of Abrams in the latest version of M1A2SepV3 delivered to the RP of the sea.

Earlier, the Poland Ministry of Defense signed a contract with the American Corporation General Atomics Aeronautical Systems in providing MQ-9B Skyguardian intelligence drones.
