Poland only has enough supplies to fight war “for a week or two”, says security chief
-
It was a bit of a joke referencing that Poland stocked up on HIMARS which as a system got a very good press in Ukraine but is also mighty expensive. Politicians did it for ratings but no further thinking was involved in that decision. It took just a year or two of war in Ukraine to make this kind of weaponry obsolete because drones can do same thing for cheaper.
The reason polish military expenditure looks so impressive is that we waste money like that. But this is also what Trump wants to achieve by making NATO members increase their spending - they will have to buy lots of American arms because they’re one of the few places capable of delivering required quantities.
there's technology transfer from koreans https://www.polska-zbrojna.pl/home/ArticleShow/42536
also not everything can be done with drones, for some time-sensitive targets you need speed that MLRS delivers

Poland most likely has a lot of factories producing ammunition for Ukraine. In case of war, those would not go to Ukraine anymore.
Simplify the supply line. Instead of Poland → Ukraine → Russia it becomes Poland → Russia

Even if this is true (very big IF), why would you publish that? The OpSec makes no sense. Are they trying to bait Russia into attacking to get a unified response? That seems like an incredibly risky move.
If you cannot achieve things going in the internal channels you sometimes have to go public, so that the public outrage forces change.
As for Russia, i am sure they have a better idea of each EU countries stockpiles than some of the military experts in these countries.

Obviously to provoke oponent reaction. Nothing risky at all since we have not invented teleportation yet. You underestimate amount of satelites looking at russia border after posting this information.

The head of President Andrzej Duda’s National Security Bureau (BBN), Dariusz Łukowski, has warned that Poland only has enough ammunition to defend itself “for a week or two” if it was attacked by Russia
But his remarks have been criticised as “outrageous” by a deputy defence minister, who says they are not true and will be exploited by Poland’s enemies.
That's why European countries shouldn't fight wars by themselves. Europe is a union, it should act as one entity.
