Poland has recently taken delivery of a new batch of M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks, which are the latest version of the American-made tanks equipped with advanced armor and fire control systems. According to TVP World, these tanks can fire various munitions, including programmable ones. This acquisition is part of Poland's broader strategy to fortify its defense capabilities in response to the escalating tensions in the region following Russia's extensive invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Under a contract signed with the U.S. in 2022, Poland ordered a total of 250 Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 tanks along with additional armored recovery vehicles and bridge layers. So far, more than 100 of these advanced tanks have been delivered, with the complete order expected to be fulfilled by the end of 2026. Poland is currently one of the NATO countries that allocates a significant part of its budget to defense, reflecting its proactive stance in strengthening its military amidst increasing security concerns due to geopolitical developments.

Additionally, Poland currently operates approximately 116 older M1A1 Abrams tanks and plans to introduce 360 South Korean K2 Black Panther tanks over the next year. By 2030, Poland aims to deploy a total of 1.1 thousand advanced tanks and continuously modernize its forces to ensure readiness in a challenging security environment.
