Defence: Poland marks 'Army Day' with large military parade
With a kilometre-long parade and modern military technology, Poland is celebrating "Army Day" - and is making a statement for security in turbulent times.
Poland celebrated Army Day with a large military parade in Warsaw, featuring around 2,000 soldiers and various military vehicles, including South Korean K2 Black Panther tanks. The parade, which spanned several kilometers, was also attended by aircraft and helicopters, including three German Luftwaffe planes. The event marked the 15th of August, a day that commemorates the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, in which Poland successfully repelled the Soviet Red Army.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki emphasized the nation's history and its relevance to current security threats. The celebrations were held under the theme "Polish SAFE - Secure Poland", referencing the EU's Security Action for Europe (SAFE) program.
