Polish think tanks present comprehensive proposals for military reform

Polish defense experts and think tanks are stepping up calls for systemic reform of the country's armed forces to match record-high defense spending. With military expenditure projected to reach 4.81 percent of gross domestic product by 2026, analysts warn that massive hardware procurement alone will not guarantee national security.

Proposals put forward by organizations such as the Defence Institute and Rozwój Plus emphasize the need to restructure command systems, improve mobilization speed, and overhaul personnel management. Experts argue that Poland must modernize its weapon acquisition framework to prevent administrative bottlenecks and build sustainable operational readiness. The focus of defense policy, analysts stress, must shift toward preparing forces capable of deterring potential aggression and absorbing an initial strike.
