Summary

The most-watched debate of the entire series (about 63,000 views) brought together the experience of a commander, a geostrategist and an analyst of the Russian military. Gen. Waldemar Skrzypczak argued that the mobility of Russian forces is underestimated in Poland and stressed the importance of strategic mobility – strategic freedom and advantage – for operations in the European theatre. Konrad Muzyka discussed in detail Russia's railway troops (about 10 brigades) and the shortage of strategic transport aircraft, evident in the Zapad exercises. Moderator Marek Świerczyński observed that the Polish debate usually stays at the tactical rather than the strategic level; transcripts of the presentations were published on the blog (2022).
