Poland's rapid military expansion, underscored by significant GDP defense spending, reflects its urgent need for security amid escalating Eastern European tensions, particularly due to the Ukraine conflict.
Since joining NATO 25 years ago, Poland has become the alliance's most dedicated member, showing a clear commitment to defense spending, with the highest GDP percentage among members.
The 2014 agreement for NATO members to allocate at least 2% of their GDP to defense has shifted dynamics, with Poland leading in commitment and investment.
Poland’s military ambitions are influenced by historical struggles for independence and the urgency to establish itself as a regional power to ensure its national security.
