Nije tacno da Poljaci odustaju samo ne mogu tako brzo da osvoje proizvodnju sa postojecim kapacitetima i ljudstvom.
Prvo ce sklapati tenkove od delova iz Koreje pa postepeno prelaziti na domace.
Saopstenje PGZ od 9. maja. Pominju i druge projekte.
Citat:
On Thursday, May 9, 2024, the management of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) issued a statement in response to the harmful narrative spreading in the media regarding the location of K2PL tank production.
The project of producing K2L tanks in Poland is such a large undertaking that it is impossible for a plant employing 350 people to handle it alone. At no point did the president of PGZ, Krzysztof Trofiniak, exclude the Military Mechanical Works S.A. or H. Cegielski S.A. plants from this project. These names, as well as statements regarding possible locations, were never mentioned; therefore, asserting and interpreting that these facilities will not be involved in the production of K2PL is completely misguided and unwarranted.
In the K2 tank production program, many companies will be involved, including those from the Silesia region, as mentioned by PGZ President Krzysztof Trofiniak during the Defance24Days conference [the exact statement is available at this link]. Anyone familiar with the arms industry, as well as considering the scale of this contract, cannot expect its execution to be confined to just one company. The implementation of this project will also require cooperation with private sector companies, hence the dominant entity will not be one of the subsidiaries but Polish Armaments Group S.A. The PGZ Board believes that this misinterpretation is aimed at worsening public sentiment and depreciating the activities of the PGZ Capital Group.
Citat:The biggest challenge will be the K2. Not long ago, many declarations were made about where this tank will be produced. Well, it definitely won’t be a plant that employs 350 people and has limited space for expansion. That is unrealistic, as this task is even bigger than launching the production of howitzers in Poland. Krab took many years of work and involved a multitude of suppliers to be gradually implemented, and K2 will be an even more challenging endeavor, not just for companies in the heavy industry but also in electronics. We definitely want to start assembly as soon as possible based on components brought to Poland, and that is a realistic short-term goal to achieve, although it also requires substantial investments. Two, three, maybe three and a half years to start assembly is the right amount of time. The next step should be to gradually initiate production based on know-how of parts for the tank in Polish plants, not necessarily just the one doing the assembly – in fact, I would consider such a solution risky, as there are other companies, both state-owned and private, that can successfully cooperate in this area.
As for the heavy industry, I see work to be done at Bumar. We should focus mainly on servicing those tanks that are either already here or will soon arrive in Poland. Their combat readiness must be maintained at a very high level, which requires the involvement of at least one company that can quickly gain knowledge on servicing and supplying these tanks with spare parts. Given the number of tanks planned to be deployed in the Polish army, one service facility might not be enough, and we may need to find another location with expansion capabilities to ensure these tanks are serviced at an adequately high level.
