Poland’s state-owned defense conglomerate PGZ is building three new ammunition factories and investing nearly 2.4 billion zlotys (over 565 million euros) in the project. With this move, Poland aims to become the largest ammunition producer in Central Europe and one of NATO’s key suppliers. The decision is driven by the need to reduce dependence on U.S. stockpiles—especially at a time when the United States has halted part of its ammunition deliveries to Ukraine.
