Poland’s booming defense industry goes global | Michał Baranowski
Russian aggression against Ukraine continues, and the Kremlin is adopting an increasingly threatening posture toward Europe. Meanwhile, the U.S. is gradually pulling its military out of the Old Continent, forcing Europeans to quickly boost their defensive capabilities. One beneficiary of European rearmament is Poland’s defense industry.
Poland is “on the way to turn from an industry that was focused on the domestic market to take advantage of the scale of Polish defense spending, but then to transform into an exporter,” Michał Baranowski, Polish Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Technology, told TVP World.
Who is looking to buy weapons made in Poland? What is the government doing to assist an industry that once only produced for domestic markets? Can Europe rearm quickly enough to fill the gaps left by troops and capabilities withdrawn by Washington?
Join our host, Maciej Mikos, and his guest, as they explore the development of the Polish arms industry, the ever-closer collaboration between Canada and Poland regarding more than just the defense industry, and Warsaw’s perspective on the challenges Europe faces as the U.S. refocuses its global defense strategy.
