So, increasing military spending from 1.5% of GDP to 1.7% of GDP isn't going to help a whole lot when there isn't sufficient capacity to build tanks, IFVs, artillery tubes, artillery shells, drones, explosives, ammunition, etc.

1. Poland recives most of its money from eu reallocation and socialist money redeistribution funds. Payd in eu admissions from the rich countries. So poland basicly spend money from sweden denmark france germany who they recive in cash. When these cash will go down in future Poland gotta reduce wellfare alot to pay for all exensive wep systems they bought like abrams panthers apaches and f35s, poland is not a rich country so this will affect living standards alot.
2. Most military material has gone up alot in price. Like a leaopard 2 tank had gone up 600% in price in 20 years or so and is 7-8 years waiting list for deliviery. so increasing next year from 2 to 2.5% doesnt help at all as war material increase faster in prices. An small increase in % gdp to defence useally lead to less bang and soldiers or warmashines for the buck.
