The Polish Army tests Model 44 in a limited number of units erstwhile simultaneously implementing Abrams and K2 tanks in battalions of 58 cars. As the Defence24 said, Brig. Gen. Grzegorz Porzuski, first the armored component is checked. For Poland it is simply a question of the pace of modernization, the real strength of the division and opposition to the drone war.

First armor, then drones.

Model 44 is not a publicist slogan, but an effort to respond to the toughest problem of the modernized army: how to reconcile fresh tanks, the structure of battalions and the experience of a battlefield on which unmanneds have become a regular tool of designation and destruction. By Defence24 The solution is present tested in a limited number of units. It's the right order. First you gotta check the structure in the real army, not in the camera presentation.

Brig. Gen. Grzegorz Porzuski, Head of the Board of Planning and Programming of the Armed Forces of Poland, explained in an interview with Defence24 that the army simultaneously implements Abramsy and K2 in standard structures. Talk about battalions after 58 tanks, in the 18th and 16th Division. This is simply a circumstantial number that immediately shows the scale of the task: modern equipment must be bought and put into people, logistics, training, designation and command.

Equipment can't win without organization

Poland has the right to build a strong land army. He besides has a work to do so without illusions. The acquisition of Abrams and K2 alone does not solve the problem if the military does not match the full structure of use. A tank without cover, recognition, communications and backrooms rapidly becomes an costly target. This is 1 of the most crucial lessons of modern war.

Therefore, the subject Polish tanks, Badgers, Abrams and K2 It can't end with a defilade delight. The defilement shows the will of the state. The polygon shows the fact about the state. Model 44 only makes sense if it withstands the test of training, service, mobilisation and interaction with unmanned workers.

Two divisions under the microscope

18th and 16th. The division is simply a formation of peculiar importance for the safety of Poland. Their strength is not an abstraction from military tables. It depends on whether the east part of the country will have real cover in the event of a crisis. If armored battalions have 58 cars each, then the state must be able to answer simple questions: who will handle them, who will repair them, who will deliver ammunition, who will supply reconnaissance and who will shield them from drones.

The war in east Europe has shown violently that the advantage belongs to those who see and strike faster. An old model of thinking, in which dense equipment drives alone, is not enough. The army must have a steel fist, but besides eyes above the battlefield. Drones are not an addition to technology enthusiasts. They're part of the basic endurance account.

Modernization must have a Polish interest in the centre

This case is not about fashion for further shortcuts and organizational models. This is about the safety of Poles. Any decision concerning the structure of battalions, the number of wagons and the implementation of unmanned vehicles shall translate into the taxpayer's money and the state's ability to defend borders. The Polish right should support the expansion of the army, but it has the right to require the government and command of precision.

A strong army does not appear from press conferences. It arises from consequences, production, training and fair mistake testing. If Model 44 is to order the transition from a classical armored battalion to a formation capable of fighting under drone pressure, then it must be checked hard and without propaganda fog.

The state must think further than the defilement

Poles saw modern equipment on the streets of Warsaw and have the right to be arrogant of the expanding capabilities of the military. But pride does not slow down from realism. The power of the state is not determined by the sight of Abrams or K2 alone, but by whether these wagons will have crews, facilities, designation and a clear place in the combat strategy during the test hour.

The model 44 is so a test of the maturity of modernization. If the army learns from the camps faster than the opponent from his own experiences, Poland will gain real security. If he treats the subject as another organizational table, soldiers and taxpayers will pay for it. There's no area for soft illusions in defense.
