Poland has contracted 250 tanks model M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 from the United States, hoping to receive them in 2022.
"These are 250 state-of-the-art tanks that will be deployed in the east of our country," Blaszczak told Polish Radio.
According to the minister, the tanks are required to reduce the risk of attack on the country.
Poland has called on NATO to more actively confront Russia, which Warsaw considers a security threat. Moscow has consistently denied any plans to attack other countries, including NATO members, but vowed to respond to any attempts to encroach on its territory or hinder its development.
