- I want the ruling, our society, would yet wake up. There's been a war going on over the border for 3.5 years. During this time, there was a revolution on the battlefield. Ukraine and Russia produce millions of drones per year, and the Polish military is pleased that 10,000 drones have been ordered in a long-term order. This is ridiculous - said Sławomir Mentzen in "Graffiti".
Confederate leader commented on the intrusion of Russian drones into Poland, which occurred on the night of Tuesday for Wednesday.
- I'm sorry. We're absolutely not ready for this conflict. Poland slept the erstwhile 3.5 years. I know we spent tens of billions of dollars on weapons that will arrive in a fewer years. Even if it is, what will it give us? Are we gonna shoot drones from the F-35 or the Patriots? 1 specified Patriot rocket costs $4 million, and 1 Shahed drone costs $20-40 thousand. This is not an anti-drone defense," said Sławomir Mentzen.

The politician pointed out what was fired on Russian unmanned objects over Poland.
- I'm sorry. We can see our F-16 fighters have been picked up. This is an highly uneconomic way of shooting drones. 1 hr of flight F-16 costs more than a drone, let alone arming these aircraft. At this point, we're not ready for a mass drone attack. We are incapable to defy specified an attack at this point and politicians do nothing about it," said Polsat News.
Sławomir Mentzen: We are not ready for conflict. Politicians completely missed the moment
Mentzen asked what would happen if there were 2,000 drones flying over Poland?
- I'm sorry. We are preparing for a war that would have been fought 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago, not for a war that is actually going on abroad. I read that Ukraine can produce a million FPV drones, specified as those controlled, in a year, we see in the network videos of how these drones are used. How many do we have? A couple hundred, a couple thousand? It's completely ridiculous. We're not ready for conflict. Polish politicians completely missed the minute and approached this highly unfairly - he said.

The war lasted 3.5 years, and the full Second planet War lasted six. We see how armies have changed during its technological breakthrough. We're seeing the same thing today. It is now a completely different war than it was in 2022. The question is whether we inactive see the planet as it was in 2022, whether the planet in which Russia and Ukraine can produce millions of drones each year - Mentzen reiterated.

When asked what should change the head of the MON, the President, or the Prime Minister in the model of modernization of the Polish army, he pointed out, among others, the liberalisation of the law concerning the production of arms and ammunition in Poland.
- I'm sorry. At this point, It takes 9 years to build a munitions mill by formalities. This is ridiculous. There is simply a immense request for weapons, ammunition worldwide, and our country is not responding to this demand. due to the fact that we have either state-owned companies or private companies that do not get adequate orders from the Polish army. We spend money abroad, send tens of billions of dollars to the United States, and Polish companies, which, for example, produce drones, could now make very dynamically, but they can't, due to the fact that they don't have adequate orders,' said Marcin Fijołek.
He added that it should be "as shortly as possible liberalize the bill, so that tens, hundreds of companies that manufacture modern, inexpensive weapons, specified as drones. At this point in Russia drones produce 900 different companies. Why don't they make mushrooms in Poland after the rain?"
"Poles are unaware of the condition in which our army truly is"
- I'm sorry. At this point, we're going towards spending 5 percent of our GDP on the military. Teverything goes in the form of advances, equipment will see the equipment possibly in a fewer years. I don't realize that at all. A fewer years ago, as shortly as the war broke out, the erstwhile PiS government began mass signing these contracts, where it was known that the shipment would be in many years. At the same time, the most crucial Polish politicians said that we might have 2 or 3 years to prepare for the conflict. Then who is normal, having in the back of his head that the war may be in 2 years, signs a transportation contract in six years or 7 years?

He besides expressed hope that what happened last night, "he yet sobered up our politicians and society. Poles are unaware of the condition in which our army truly is".
- I'm sorry. Besides, this drone thing is just 1 thing. It is not that the Polish army only specified machines. Many times I have spoken and appealed to Polish politicians, MPs, senators: go to the ultimate Chamber of Control and read her study on the ability of the Polish Armed Forces to carry out tasks during the war. This study is classified. I can't tell you what's out there, but all MP who speaks on tv about the war, or about our military, should yet read this study due to the fact that there's an eye-opening information - concluded.
