00:00Poland just dropped 2.3 billion euros on stealth submarines.
00:04And it's not just about defense.
00:06It's about sending a clear message across the Baltic Sea,
00:09after years of neglecting its navy.
00:11Poland is diving deep into modernization with a powerful purchase from Sweden.
00:16Three state-of-the-art A-26 Blikin-class submarines are coming.
00:20Fully armed, able to vanish underwater for 30 days.
00:23And designed specifically for the cold, shallow waters of the Baltic.
00:27This isn't just a military upgrade.
00:29It's a strategic shift.
00:31Right now, Poland's only operational sub is from 1985 and barely sails.
00:36Most of its fleet is older than the average millennial.
00:39But here's the twist.
00:40This deal includes tech transfers.
00:42Meaning Poland will soon be able to service and maintain these vessels at home.
00:46Plus, it's a big win for Poland's shipbuilding industry.
00:50Why does this matter?
00:51The Baltic Sea is packed with oil platforms, gas pipelines, wind farms, and undersea cables.
00:57It's the new front line of energy and security in Europe.
01:00And with NATO watching Russia's every move,
01:03Poland's new subs could be the silent guardians below the surface.
01:07Poland isn't just buying submarines.
01:09It's reclaiming control of the Baltic.
01:11And it's just getting started.
