Why Poland Switched to this Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Poland is making huge strides towards accomplishing their goal of becoming the largest land force in Europe by signing a framework agreement to produce nearly 1,400 Borsuk Infantry Fight Vehicles. The development of this new armored vehicle tracks a unique time in Poland’s history where they have rapidly upscaled their defense manufacturing capability and shows how their nation is capable of creating their own homegrown advanced defense equipment.
Poland’s President recently signed into law a bill that increases defense spending to 3% or possibly even up to 4% of GDP going forward. It will more than double the number of troops serving in the Polish Armed Forces, up to 300,000 and those new soldiers will need wheels to ride in. That’s where the Borsuk comes into play.
