**Poland‘s Military Prepared for War**
Polish military leaders say their country has enough supplies to resist an enemy attack for up to two weeks. Dariusz Lukowski, head of Poland’s National Security Bureau, told a news outlet that Poland could defend itself for this long before NATO reinforcements arrive.
The Polish Armed Forces still use a mix of modern and outdated equipment. This means that ammunition shortages mainly affect older systems. However, new combat vehicles and platforms are being supplied with the right type of munitions.
Some politicians have criticized Poland’s defense production. They claim the country would only have enough ammunition for five days of war. Lukowski said it depends on the type of equipment and munitions used in each case.
Poland is a strong supporter of Ukraine, which has been invaded by Russia. The Polish government has provided tanks, heavy equipment, and ammunition to help Ukraine’s defense. In response to Russia’s aggression, Polish President Andrzej Duda has called for the US to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland as a deterrent.
With tensions between NATO and Russia growing, Western leaders have warned of a potential large-scale war in Europe within five years. Poland’s military is prepared to defend itself and its allies during this time.
