Program Orka za 18 miliardów. Co dokładnie dostanie Polska?

Poland has signed a contract for three modern Saab A26 submarines under the Orka program. The order is valued at approximately 47 billion Swedish kronor (approximately 18 billion PLN). The contract also covers armament, training, logistics, and technical support. In this article, we examine the capabilities of the A26 submarines, how the AIP propulsion system with Stirling engines works, and why the design was adapted to the specific conditions of the Baltic Sea. We also explain the importance of the Multi-Mission Portal, possible armaments, and the involvement of Polish industry. We also present the current situation of the Polish submarine force. The only remaining submarine in service is the 40-year-old ORP "Orzeł." Before the new submarines are delivered, Poland will lease the modernized HMS "Södermanland" from Sweden. Was the A26 the best choice for Poland? What risks are associated with the program schedule, and will three submarines be sufficient to rebuild the Navy's effective submarine capabilities? Data on three A26s, worth approximately 47 billion kroner, and the lease of HMS Södermanland are confirmed by Saab and the Swedish government.
