Today Poland celebrates the Day of the Polish Army. A large-scale military parade was held in honor of this. It is considered the largest since the end of the Cold War in the last century.
The 103rd anniversary of Poland’s victory over Bolshevik Russia in the Battle of Warsaw is being celebrated.
On Tuesday, August 15, 2023, a column of 2,000 soldiers of the Polish Army and NATO countries passed through the parade and were accompanied by 200 units of military equipment, 92 airplanes and helicopters. Among them was the President of Poland Andrzej Duda in a jeep. He emphasized that the last eight years that the ruling party “Law and Justice” has been in power have become “the time of reconstruction of the Polish army.”
The Ministry of Defense of Poland published a tweet in which it is said that Polish developments were shown at the parade – Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles and Krab self-propelled artillery installations. As well as American M1A1 Abrams tanks, HIMARS missile launchers and Patriot air defense systems, and South Korean K2 tanks and K9 self-propelled howitzers.
Helicopters, including the American Black Hawk, and F-16 and FA-50 fighters were responsible for the air part of the parade.
