They pretty much have to.Interesting. Belarus joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization last week as well according to the article.
Belarus is a Russian puppet state that exists at Russian pleasure.

Belarus arleady produce missile launcher which is copy of china weapon.Up to 200km range.
WhutBelarus arleady produce missile launcher which is copy of china weapon.Up to 200km range.
And,they are allies from long time - but not against Poland.Belarus use China to not get eaten by Putin,and China used Belarus to keep Moscov in check.
No when Moscov economy depend on China.Putin now is XI vassal,could not act against his wishes.Not mention - what soviet army? they are dying on Ukraine.Whut
How could "China [use] Belarus to keep Moscow in check"? Belarus can do fuck all to Russia and all Russia has to do to Belarus if they defy them is essentially just pull the rug out from under them and annex the shit out of them
Wasn't Russia recruiting Heroic Hindu and Adroit African mercenaries lately?Where Moscov would find soldiers to die on Belaruss ?
Sure.How well they would fight ?Wasn't Russia recruiting Heroic Hindu and Adroit African mercenaries lately?
Sticks and stones, with a dash of rusty SKS rifles dugged out from Stanlin's grave. So really not that different from current russian infantry.Sure.How well they would fight ?
Shit.We do not need that shit,combat helicopters are arleady obsolate as weapon.https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-announces-second-2-billion-military-loan-deal-poland-2024-07-08/

Poland Inks Deal for 48 Patriot Air Defense Launchers
Poland signed a contract to build 48 launchers for the US-designed Patriot air and missile defence systems to boost Warsaw's military capabilities.www.thedefensepost.com
On Friday, Poland inked a deal with the United States to buy hundreds of AIM-120C AMRAAM air-to-air missiles.
According to Polish media, Warsaw and Washington will in the coming days sign another defense deal on the purchase of 96 US-made AH-64E Apache combat helicopters valued at more than $9 billion.
Those can do things that most Soviet ones (except some Mi-28's) used in Ukraine can't. They can pop up from behind terrain with their mast radars and fire long range missiles guided by them while most of the helicopter is hidden from enemy sensors, so getting a lock on it is near impossible, so if used carefully they can fight vehicles and do recon at least even in modern war, and has good self-protection systems on top of that.Shit.We do not need that shit,combat helicopters are arleady obsolate as weapon.
But,AA is still needed,so not all is useless.
You forget drones.Those days,they could swarm helicopters.But - i hope,that either you are right,or Poland would fight only muslims in burning EU in the future.Those can do things that most Soviet ones (except some Mi-28's) used in Ukraine can't.

You would have had a better point if those were some other model without a mast radar.
You forget that it can also fight drones with a cannon, Stingers and APKWS. That's enough to shoot down a lot of drones. That is if anyone knows to launch a kamikaze drone at it, while it's 5km away and hiding behind buildings with only the mast sticking out.You forget drones.Those days,they could swarm helicopters.But - i hope,that either you are right,or Poland would fight only muslims in burning EU in the future.
Preferable in burning Berlin !
It could.But Stinger cost more then racing drone,and even if enemy use 50 of them to down one Apache,it is still worth it.You forget that it can also fight drones with a cannon, Stingers and APKWS.

It's also integrated with drones for targeting, so it doesn't need to see a target at all.
AH-64E Apache teams with two UAVs to identify, attack target
An Apache AH-64E, a Textron Shadow RQ-7BV2 Block 3 tactical UAV and a General Atomics Aeronautical Systems MQ-1C Gray Eagle Extended Range UAV successfully worked together to carry out an air-to-ground missile attack at Dugway Proving Ground in October.www.flightglobal.com
They have to be able to control that many in one single area...that's difficult with current tech.It could.But Stinger cost more then racing drone,and even if enemy use 50 of them to down one Apache,it is still worth it.
Probably would be still worth it if they use 1000....
Arranging such a massive attack is extremely hard in terms of timing and EM interference. If a helicopter like that decides to run, cheap racing drones burdened by a warhead will struggle to catch it, while expensive, faster ones like Lancet are worth a Stinger.It could.But Stinger cost more then racing drone,and even if enemy use 50 of them to down one Apache,it is still worth it.

With current tech.We buyed those Apaches to serve for next 30 years or so.They have to be able to control that many in one single area...that's difficult with current tech.
Sorry for being unclear.Sending packs made of 5 or more,till they get Apache.And,if they lost 1000,it would still be worth it.The opportunity cost alone in sending a thousand FPV drones to strike a single piece of military equipment, a very fast helicopter at that, would make it an unwise target as well.
Polish Apaches would likely be operating in a more combined arms environment then you'd see Russians engaging in like what happened in Kursk with the Ka-52 on the opening days of that offensive.
Not one massive attack,but many smaller every time Apache try anytching near front.If they lost 1000 for one downed heli,they still win.Arranging such a massive attack is extremely hard in terms of timing and EM interference. If a helicopter like that decides to run, cheap racing drones burdened by a warhead will struggle to catch it, while expensive, faster ones like Lancet are worth a Stinger.
And it still has lots of 30mm rounds and 70mm APKWS rockets if it really needs to take down many drones.
