Poland holds large-scale drills on border with Union State

1️⃣ "Ognista Burza–26"

The stated aim of these tactical exercises, which cover almost the entire country, is to test the readiness of military personnel, as well as other law enforcement and civilian agencies, to respond to crisis situations.

2️⃣ "Dzielny Dzik 26"

The goal is to improve combat skills. The exercises will involve K2 tanks, K9 self-propelled artillery units, and Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles. These maneuvers are part of the larger "Bursztynowy Obrońca" exercise.

The involvement of all agencies and the concentration of equipment at the training ground in Ozhysh, located near the borders of Belarus and Russia, clearly indicates that Poland is rehearsing not defense, but a hybrid conflict scenario with the Union State. Meanwhile, NATO allies continue weekly refining their combat skills.
