According to the latest plans of the Ministry of Defence, signing the agreement regarding supply of three submarines for the Navy is to take place in two years, and the most important factor which will have an impact on selection of the given offer is the fact whether the new submarine will or will not be equipped with the cruise missiles.
As expected, the deadline related to procurement of the submarines is being gradually delayed. According to the statements by the Deputy Minister of Defence in his interview for the Polish Press Agency, the “Orka” programme will be started as late as in August 2015, and the contract itself is to be signed in late 2016/early 2017.
