Poland and Romania become the largest buyers of military equipment globally, drawing attention to military operations.

Poland and Romania feel the danger.

According to a report by the Sputnik News Agency on April 16, Poland and Romania will become the two countries with the largest scale of arms procurement in the world in 2024, ranking first and second respectively.

Poland spent $15.6 billion last year purchasing weapons and equipment from foreign countries, accounting for about 13% of the global arms trade volume, ranking first in the world. Poland is a neighboring country of Ukraine and has been militarily aiding Ukraine. It is also a neighboring country of Russia, with Kaliningrad just hundreds of kilometers away from Warsaw, the capital of Poland. In order to cope with the threat, Poland has deployed a large number of landmines and built many defensive works in border areas.

Romania spent $10.2 billion last year purchasing weapons from foreign countries, accounting for about 8.4% of the global arms trade volume, ranking second. Romania mainly purchases F-35 stealth fighters and main battle tanks from the United States, which are very expensive.

Europe, although wealthy, has dozens of countries of various sizes, each with its own plans. If European countries still prefer to solve problems through military means, it will be very dangerous, as the lessons of the two World Wars are still fresh in memory.
