Obce wywiady już tu są. Były szef SKW mówi, jak działają [SŁUŻBY]

What does the Military Counterintelligence Service (MCS) really do? How have threats to Poland changed since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, and why is intelligence fighting increasingly taking place in cyberspace today? Brigadier General Maciej Materka, former head of the Military Counterintelligence Service (SKW), a special services officer with extensive experience in the Office of State Protection (UOP), the Internal Security Agency (ABW), and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA), discusses this. In this interview, he explains why military counterintelligence is responsible not only for protecting the army but also for the security of the arms industry, new technologies, and the massive investments related to the modernization of the armed forces. He also discusses threats stemming from foreign intelligence activities, cyberattacks, sabotage, and information warfare. General Materka explains how the methods of operation of the secret services have changed, why information is most easily obtained in cyberspace today, and the importance of NATO and European Union alliances for Poland's security. He also reflects on service reforms, cooperation between institutions, and the challenges facing the state in times of hybrid warfare. This is a conversation for anyone who wants to understand the contemporary struggle for national security – often invisible to citizens, yet having a huge impact on the functioning of the country. #SKW #Counterintelligence #Special Services #Security #PolishArmy #NATO #Cybersecurity #HybridWarfare #DGP
