Poland is embarking on a large‑scale naval renewal program, which will be the largest since the Cold War. The initiative is aimed at strengthening the country's combat and support capabilities in the Baltic Sea. This was reported by the Financial Times on January 22.

"Poland should actively participate in ensuring security in the Baltic Sea," said the country's deputy defense Minister Pavel Beida.

The Financial Times clarifies that the frigate project is being implemented by a consortium of Polish PGZ and British Babcock, its cost is estimated at € 3.5 billion, and the submarines will be supplied by Saab for €2.3 billion. The project is aimed at strengthening the potential of the Polish shipbuilding industry and updating the surface fleet.
