In 2018 Poland spent 4 bln dollar on buying new weapon. 3 bln dollar were spent to purchase American weapon and only 1 bln dollar to purchase Polish weapon.
Just imagine how powerful Poland would be if we were spending 4 bln dollar every year on buying ONLY Polish weapon produced ONLY in Polish factories. We would already be a nuclear power and regional empire.
USrael and Russia are best allies, they are only playing "bad cop" - "good cop" game to fool the goyim. I think that buying weapon from the USA is a strategic mistake because it can be remotely switched off from Washington in scenario of factual military conflict with Russia

Not even Israel rolls like that. Singapore has done great for a small country. They have strong high tech forces for their size. Israel buys lots of local stuff but Americans pay the bill which is huge.
Singapore has done everything on their own though. They have foreign jets and stuff but land war equipment is mainly local but with wise off the self stuff like power packs. Other country to compare is Korea. Korea has a big economy but still they have foreign jets etc.
Didn't Poland back out off a deal with the French for the helicopters where they would have transferred lots of tech and production to Poland?

Designing, developing and building anti-ballistic systems is extremely difficult and expensive.
Many weapon systems are difficult and expensive to produce - Poland probably does not have a sizable defence & aerospace industry to develop that kind of capability without decades and massive investment.

They would transfer shit. We have two factories of helicopters in Poland, both of them are based on American tech. We even produce Black Hawks. So why should we buy French stuff produced in France?

For the same purpose for which England and USA sold Poland to Soviet Union during Yalta Conference in 1945 - to please Russian ally.

Why would Washington turn off Javelins and Patriot missles?
Luis Fisher
>So why should we buy French stuff produced in France? They won't be turned off when Ivan attacks. Strong US economy won't warm up Polish economy. Strong EU economy will.
