Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk proudly displayed some of the country’s weaponry as he told the press during the opening session of the Council of Ministers, “Tomorrow I will visit locations where we will present larger items, state-of-the-art combat equipment, manufactured entirely in Poland.”
According to Do Rzeczy, Tusk placed model missiles on his desk, claiming that funds obtained from the European Union and those earned by Polish taxpayers must be used domestically to the maximum extent possible.
“Today’s government meeting is not an emergency. Don’t worry, ladies and gentlemen, these aren’t warheads or projectiles from former police chief Szymczyk’s grenade launcher. Nothing can explode, these are dummies,” the politician announced.
The leader of the Civic Coalition had brought the models to show the ministers gathered and said Poland should be “proud” of what it can produce.
The X account for the Chancellery of the Polish Prime Minister (KPRM) also posted the prime minister’s speech with a caption referencing the critical need for domestic weapons manufacturing: “Anyone who destabilizes the Polish state or tries to destabilize the situation on the borders is acting – directly or indirectly – as an accomplice of the Russian services.”
Tusk also spoke of the “enormous significance” of Poland having to produce its own weapons. “Most of the components are manufactured using the latest technology, using 3D printers. This is the armament for Polish drones, which are also manufactured entirely in Poland. This includes not only drones but also other unmanned weapon systems,” he said.
Referencing Poland’s Vistula program, i.e., procuring and implementing the Patriot Integrated Air and Missile Defense System, Tusk added that work is also underway on these ground systems and land-based devices that will operate unmanned on land as well.
“The best, most modern things can be done in Poland,” he said, applauding the fact that Polish taxpayer money would not have to be spent abroad but locally with domestic companies in Poland.
“It’s crucial that the enormous resources we spend on armaments—both from the state budget and from European funds—don’t just go abroad: to Korea, the U.S., or France. This money must be put to work here, in Poland,” Tusk said.
