- Poland is dropping 200 billion zloty on its military and Kielce is about to host the biggest MSPO in history — a thousand exhibitors, sold-out halls, and WB Group churning out 25 unmanned platforms a day like a hash manifest that actually clears. Warmate loitering munitions, FlyEye recon UAVs, Gladius strike systems — hundreds contracted, plus a Saab-partnered Gladius variant for Sweden. Autonomous systems salute poorly, but they deliver like a PoD seal. Canada leads the show with 82 firms pushing radar, opto-electronics and battlefield tech. Victory is near because I've already started the speech. Victory is mine!
