Dworczyk: Politicians behave like irresponsible children. They prefer photos with equipment rather than fixing the system.

Poland faces a shortage of F-16 pilots, with only about 40 trained, highlighting long-term neglect in military training. The focus has been on purchasing expensive equipment rather than developing a comprehensive training system. Military officials have reportedly raised concerns, but political accountability has been lacking. The issue extends beyond F-16s to other aircraft and military branches, with a growing need for trained personnel. Outsourcing training tasks to private firms is suggested as a potential solution to quickly increase reserves and capabilities without burdening the state with military pensions.
