On October 28, 2022, the Armed Forces of Poland received the first set of 6 Bayraktar TB2 reconnaissance and attack drones and 3 mobile control stations, which will serve at the 12th UAV Base located in the city of Myroslaviec.
In addition, the Polish military has already received a set of spare parts, diagnostic equipment and equipment for ground maintenance. The crew of these frones has undergone a full training course in Turkey. Poland’s Bayraktar TB2 will need a few days to reach full combat readiness.

The Minister of Defense of Poland Mariusz Blaszczak gave speech at the presentation of the first Bayraktars for the Polish army, highlighting two points.
The first is that the appearance of the Bayraktar TB2 in the army "gives true security to Poland." From which we can assume that the military and political leadership of Poland is interested in promising UAV projects.
Blaszczak also mentioned the parliamentary opposition that tried to block the $270 million Bayraktar TB2 deal with Turkey, calling it "too expensive." This shows that the military and political leadership of Poland has learned to overcome the "internal resistance" that can accompany any promising projects on attack or reconnaissance drones.
Perhaps, in these two moments, there is a "bridge" that Ukraine can use to implement mutually beneficial projects on reconnaissance and attack drones, which are necessary to finally defeat russia.
