Kaczynski did not disclose details, but noted, “Our army, which previously consisted of three divisions, will have six. Over time, there will probably still be a reserve division. This is also a division, but in a slightly different composition.”

He shared his opinion that the army of Poland will be the strongest land army in Europe. According to Kaczynski, it will become the foundation for the defence of the NATO entire eastern flank.

The current plan for the development of the Polish Armed Forces implies their expansion to six divisions, as well as an increase in the size of the army to 300,000 troops.
