The 15 new vehicles were handed over at a state-owned arms factory in Stalowa Wola, a small industrial city in southeastern Poland, where they were developed and built. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz called the moment “a great day for Poland’s national security.” The government plans to field 111 Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles by 2029 in a €1.5 billion contract, with more orders likely as the military replaces its aging Soviet-era BWP-1 fleet, much of which was sent to Ukraine. The rollout comes as Poland significantly expands its defense spending.
