Poland will purchase 180 K2 tanks from South Korea, bringing the total to 1,100 tanks, more than the UK, Germany, France and Italy combined.

The deal to buy 180 South Korean K2 tanks, worth more than €6bn, is part of Poland's strategy to strengthen its defense, influenced by the war in Ukraine and the crisis with Belarus. Poland will spend 4.7% of its GDP on defense and will have 1,100 tanks, surpassing the total of 950 tanks of France, Britain, Germany and Italy. Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz underlined the importance of this agreement for security and the national armaments industry.
