No more shooting sparrows with a cannon – American weapons for air challenges

Amerykanie testują lasery samolotowe
Americans are drawing conclusions from the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East and are changing their air defense priorities. Instead of expensive long-range missiles, they will build cheaper, but more numerous systems to combat drones and low-flying targets. These are also conclusions for Poland.

CENZIN changes its operating philosophy – returning to exports with a focus on technology and know-how

CENZIN changes its operating philosophy – returning to exports with a focus on technology and know-how

For years, CENZIN was a Polish company associated primarily with the trade in armaments and spare parts. Today, CENZIN, a company within Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), intends to redefine its role by focusing on technology exports, know-how transfer and rebuilding its position in foreign markets. This follows a profound strategic shift after the political turbulence of recent years, which had brought the share of exports in the company’s business down to just 2% in 2023. That figure has now risen to approximately 40%, with a target of 50% and, in the longer term, as much as 80% of the company’s business coming from exports.

Poland and South Korea – a strategic armoured, artillery, and ammunition-sovereignty partnership for Europe?

Poland and South Korea – a strategic armoured, artillery, and ammunition-sovereignty partnership for Europe?

Poland is building one of the most impressive armed forces in Europe, and cooperation with South Korea has played a significant role in this process for several years. The contracts concluded include, among other things, the delivery of 48 FA-50 aircraft, a total of 1,000 K2 tanks, more than 600 K9 self-propelled howitzers, and approximately 288 K239 Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers (Homar-K). However, with such a rapidly growing arsenal, must Poland not also ensure a sufficient quantity of ammunition? Could one of the outcomes of the April visit of the Polish government delegation to South Korea also be the securing of cooperation in the production and supply of large-calibre and rocket ammunition?

Hanwha Ocean’s Vision: Building Defense and Industrial Partnerships with Poland?

Hanwha Ocean’s Vision: Building Defense and Industrial Partnerships with Poland?

Sean Seongwoo Park, Vice President of International Business at Hanwha Ocean and former submarine commander, says in an interview for the SektorObronny.pl and NationalSecurity.pl portal, about South Korea’s strategic offer for Poland’s ORKA submarine program – which is a Polish defense procurement initiative aimed at acquiring new conventionally powered submarines (diesel-electric, with air-independent propulsion – AIP) for the Polish Navy – the unique capabilities of the KSS III, and the company’s broader vision for investing in Poland’s shipbuilding industry, unmanned technologies, and long-term defense partnerships. About vision of building defense and industrial partnerships with Poland?
Who knows whether Poland will soon become a strategic partner of South Korea – not only in the area of defense, but also in industry, innovation and maritime economy. The KSS III submarine is a symbol of a broader vision of cooperation: technology transfer, investment in Polish shipyards and building long-term relationships based on partnership and Korean investments in Poland. It can be a new chapter in international relations opening for Poland?
