Today on Wisłostrada Avenue in Warsaw, a military parade will take place to celebrate Polish Armed Forces Day under the slogan "Strong White and Red." This marks the first military parade since 2019 and is set to be the most extensive in the last 30 years. Around 2,000 military personnel, 200 units of military equipment, and nearly a hundred aircraft will participate, as reported by tvp.info.

This parade will feature the participation of not only the Polish Armed Forces but also military servicemen from the USA, the United Kingdom, Romania, and Croatia. The parade will showcase Patriot anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems, as well as aviation displays including F-16 and FA-50 fighters, along with F-35s from the US Air Force.

The lineup of showcased military equipment includes various versions of the Rosomak armoured personnel carrier, self-propelled Rak mortars, Krab and K9 howitzers, HIMARS rocket artillery systems, and three types of tanks: Leopard 2, Korean-made K2, and Abrams tanks.

Additionally, combat infantry vehicles like "Borsuk" and mine-clearing vehicles like "Baobab-K" will be displayed, alongside a plethora of technical, medical, and material-technical equipment.

The parade's sky display will include transport planes used to carry the country's most important individuals and helicopters such as Black Hawks or AW101s. Moreover, American Apache attack helicopters will be showcased. Poland plans to acquire 96 of these helicopters, with a portion being provided by US ground forces before the procurement and delivery.

Polish television invites viewers to follow the parade online through channels like TVP1, TVP Info, and TVP Polonia. The online broadcast will also be available on the tvp.info portal, starting at around 14:00 local time.


Polish Armed Forces Day, celebrated on August 15th, commemorates the victory of the Polish armed forces over the Red Army in 1920, famously known as the "Miracle on the Vistula." During this historic event, the Polish army defended Central and Eastern European countries, as well as Western Europe, from Soviet occupation, including Western Ukraine. This act saved people from the famine caused by Soviet occupiers in Eastern Ukraine, where over two million people lost their lives.
