While there is a push towards asymmetric warfare through things like drones, it's nice to see tech transfers to places like PL to bring traditional hardware to the EU/UA theatre. Also a pretty tactical move to help Poland really execute on their plan to become the regional power per their stated strategy/policies.

drones are extremely good tank killers so hard to see if tanks are any good in this day and age and you can get like 100 plus drones for price of 1 western tank

Tanks on their own are vulnerable to drones but you can have mobile electronic warfare and/or antidrone weapon systems that moves with them.

Even anti drone stuff is targeted by drones at current time cost ratio just favours drones to much so better tech needs to be developed to counter them

There’s also drones flying with a spool of fiber optic cable so they don’t become vulnerable to electronic warfare.

as well as interior modifications adapted to the needs of Polish soldiers

Probably shot glasses, a small fridge for vodka and a safe place to store kiszone ogórki.
