The modernization plan should provide economic sustainability for the domestic armaments industry, and global access to the best technological capabilities and production capacities. What follows is the substance of my remarks.Īn overall portfolio of procurement programs has a broader set of entirely related objectives as well. Yesterday, I was in Warsaw to discuss that project at a seminar hosted for the Polish MoD by the British and Swedish Embassies. In response, Poland’s Ministry of Defense is aiming to replace its own T-72s and derivatives with a new, domestically developed tank as well. What’s more alarming is what’s under development to the east-Uralvagonzavod’s T-14 Armata project. Russian T-72s aren’t the most modern tanks, but they’re effective enough against an underprepared enemy. Every morning’s news from Ukraine reminds us of the continued relevance of heavy armor on modern battlefields.
