Russian drones over Poland have become a symbol of emerging threats and challenges for the state. In the \u201cDifferent Points of View\u201d<\/em> programme on Radio Wroc\u0142aw, experts from various disciplines discussed security, the economy, and defence strategy. Among them \u2013 Phd. Przemys\u0142aw Skulski<\/a>, Professor at the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, whose analysis resonated most strongly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost Potential and the Costs of Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Professor Skulski reminded listeners that the roots of today\u2019s problems go back to the period of systemic transformation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe disarmed ourselves by choice, dismantling a significant part of Poland\u2019s defence industry \u2013 above all many research centres. We lost intellectual potential and the ability to conduct international business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The lack of institutional continuity meant that Poland forfeited research and export competencies, which are now extremely difficult to rebuild. In the face of new threats, the pressure to purchase armaments has intensified. Yet \u2013 as the WUEB expert emphasises \u2013 economic limits cannot be ignored:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis is well-documented worldwide \u2013 defence spending exceeding 5% of GDP becomes dangerous. In the long run, it is unsustainable. Security has a price \u2013 a very concrete one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For Professor Skulski, what matters most is a coherent strategy, ensuring that purchases are not a chaotic reaction but part of a long-term policy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology and Disinformation \u2013 Challenges of the 21st Century<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become an indispensable element of contemporary conflicts<\/strong>. Yet Professor Skulski warns against one-sided thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt is not about discarding drones \u2013 absolutely not, because they are the future. But one must remember that in many countries very advanced work is being carried out on anti-drone weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This means that offensive and defensive systems must be developed in parallel. National defence also requires societal resilience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt is crucial to build a wise society, resistant also to fake news, as recent days have shown. This was an unprecedented attack \u2013 many people did not expect that information could be manipulated so easily. [\u2026] We must not be deceived; we must always verify information through reliable sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For the professor, the fight against disinformation is as vital as the development of defence technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared Goals \u2013 Different Perspectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Professor Skulski\u2019s analyses formed the programme\u2019s central point, other guests added important perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
