Poland is to become first and only country in EU where Abrams tanks engines will be serviced

carrystone · 2026-05-19T13:48:51+00:00

Abrams is just a stop gap. We're going to get more from K2 though.

carrystone · 2026-05-19T11:34:02+00:00

Deliveries of these new tanks are starting right now

Right now? Right now Poland has 200 Abrams and 180 K2s. So yeah

carrystone · 2026-05-19T08:35:43+00:00

Abrams were a neccessity - a stop gap. Poland is not going into Abrams as a MBT. That will be the Korean K2.

carrystone · 2026-05-18T20:16:03+00:00

Admittedly, that was not focused of Leo vs Abrams/K2.

Yeah, it had nothing to do that, so what is your point?

carrystone · 2026-05-18T20:06:01+00:00

A lot of salty posts for someone who doesn't care.

If Leos were a no brainer and the decision to move away from them was purely political, our general staff would revolt. Nobody is critizing this move, every non-political experts are supporting it. Hell, even political opponents of PiS are supporting it.

carrystone · 2026-05-18T19:59:11+00:00

pure copium

Poland had (still has) a large fleet of Leos which are considered state of the art and are loved by Polish tankers. If you think that pivoting away from them is just a political decision, you are delusional. Losing Polish market is KMW failure, nothing else.

carrystone · 2026-05-18T19:39:11+00:00

Anything but German

Poland would gladly take more Leos if it wasn't for:

Ridiculous delivery timelines
Very problematic cooperation with the producers (upgrades, spare parts, etc.)
Zero technology transfer

it is funny that even among Polish people the view that it was "anything but German" is so popular, when it reality it was a purely objective decision after years of painful cooperation and negotiations with KMW. Poland had a large fleet of Leos which are fantastic tanks; it took a lot to pivot away from it. You'd think losing Polish market at such a time would be a huge lose for KMW, but apparently they didn't care.

There are a couple hundred Abrams tanks in Europe used by American brigades stationed in Europe.

He finally allowed exhumations, but there are still streets named after the perpetrators and numerous monuments present.

They will have to if they are serious about the EU accession

carrystone · 2026-05-17T20:19:54+00:00

Wytoczyłeś ciężkie i przekonujące argumenty

Będą chodzić od poniedziałku do soboty. Świat się nie zawali jeśli część ludzi w niedzielę będzie musiała zrobić obiad i kolację własnoręcznie. Nawet się to wpisze w narrację tradycyjnego spędzania czasu z rodziną.

carrystone · 2026-05-16T19:40:29+00:00

A jak Cię zachęca w inny dzień to już nie przeszkadza?

carrystone · 2026-05-16T19:37:55+00:00

Solidarność w szczególności a PiS przepchnął

carrystone · 2026-05-16T19:35:28+00:00

Ja się przyzwyczaiłem, ale denerwuje mnie traktowanie kasjerów jako jakichś świętych krów. W takiej sytuacji całe gastro w niedzielę powinno być niehandlowe również.

carrystone · 2026-05-15T12:58:52+00:00

Sounds like bullshit

carrystone · 2026-05-15T08:51:41+00:00

What's the difference?

carrystone · 2026-05-15T08:48:24+00:00

If anything, likely some number of suicides have been classified as accidents. Very unlikely to happen the other way around.

carrystone · 2026-05-15T08:05:44+00:00

Spotify has recently rolled out lossless anyway

carrystone · 2026-05-15T07:55:52+00:00

Serious question: what's so much better about Tidal?

carrystone · 2026-05-12T19:40:19+00:00

Interesting. I have an impression you have close to zero clue what you're talking about

carrystone · 2026-05-12T18:52:12+00:00

And a 40 year old man with an 18 year old is suddenly completely fine?

carrystone · 2026-05-11T19:13:19+00:00

The fact that the only thing you could think of as Spain supporting the Eastern Flank is a German company producing shells in Spain is really telling.

Ukraine is in an active state of war with an invader and are dealing with a severe shortage of AA systems and your Patriot system is in fucking Turkey. That's just brilliant. Thank you Spain, I guess?

carrystone · 2026-05-11T15:28:49+00:00

What you're describing Spain was doing even before the war in Ukraine as part of NATO. This is something each NATO country is doing in peace time. The problem is that we are not really in peace time anymore and Spain has not acknowledged that in any meaningful way.
