Poland to spend PLN 16 bln on the Navy

The Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz announced that over the next ten years approximately PLN 16 billion will be spent on the Navy. "Poland is changing, we are building, repairing roads, kindergartens, museums. Whole  city districts are changing and forgotten areas are being brought back to life. But we should remember about defence, we tend to forget about it," Kopacz reminded. According to her the Navy is "our priority and we will place orders with our Polish producers." The contract for planning and building three"Kormoran II" units was signed in September 2013 by the Inspector for the Armed Forces and the consortium. These units are designed to locate and detonate sea mines in the Polish economic area in tactical groups in the Baltic and North Sea.
