I'm gonna start this line by putting up a bold and controversial thesis... If the task of the Polish assault aircraft had not been disrupted in the 1990s PZL-230 Scorpion and the plan of the Polish training and combat aircraft PZL I-22 IrydaWe wouldn't gotta fear Russia as much as we do present in front of us...
Many of you will find my thesis strange... any of you may even find it ridiculous... But let me justify...
Imagine that in 1996 a contract was signed for the acquisition by the Polish army of 60 pieces of school and combat aircraft PZL I-22 Iryda, which effectively replaced the utilized in maritime aviation outdated russian single engine Migi-21... How wonderful the Polish Air Force would look today!... This would surely open up broad prospects for improvement for the Polish aviation industry, resulting in the signing of multimillion contracts with Ukraine and India in the future...

Imagine that in 1998 110 pieces of obsolete, unmodified Soviet-bombed Su-22 fighter aircraft replaced as many of the same state-of-the-art assault aircraft type PZL-230 Scorpion completely Polish production... The final withdrawal from service of these oldest Polish aviation combat aircraft would surely be accepted by all without exception Polish military pilots with real enthusiasm! This enthusiasm would most likely be even greater, as the outdated disintegrating russian equipment would replace the completely Polish plan in many groundbreaking respects and then without its equivalent in the world. due to the fact that it uses groundbreaking technologies like fly-by-wire or stealth PZL-230 Scorpion In almost all field, he would beat his predecessor of russian production to the head! It would primarily be characterised by its ability to take off and land on grassy front-front airports, maneuverability, structural strength in terms of fast manoeuvres and, of course, the anticipation of equipping NATO with its weapons. Regarding the maneuverability of PZL-230 Scorpion would besides have a definite advantage over Su-22!... And how wonderful the Polish Air Force would look today!... As is commonly known after 1993, the recently elected government decided to postpone the task backing PZL-230 Scorpion... But let's imagine what would happen if the swarms of Sky Scorpions for decades indistinguishably overpowered by Polish airfields...

I'd be happy to give you a hint.
After implementation for the serial production of Polish combat aircraft PZL I-22 Iryda and PZL-230 Scorpion thousands of people would find employment in the Polish aviation industry, contributing importantly to the simplification of unemployment in Poland in the late 1990s and in the first decade of the 21st century...
On a wave of increasing interest in home aviation constructions in Poland, the improvement of the Polish light-field aircraft, which has not yet been implemented today, would be accelerated. Cobra 2000, which was intended to be deceptively akin to the world-famous American multitasking aircraft F-16!...
I can already see with my imagination how a beautiful shining prototype of the Polish supersonic light field aircraft Cobra 2000 surrounded by the rays of the rising sun reflected on its shining wings, led by the exhilarating method support to the concrete runway, waiting for a young cloud-eyed experimental pilot, who would permanently sign up for this in the latest Polish history... In time, the year-to-year upgraded supersonic Polish, "Cobras" would prove to be an excellent complement to the iconic F-16, "hawks" alternatively of those Korean FA-50...
And again after the implementation of the Polish light combat aircraft for serial production Cobra 2000 again thousands of people would find employment in the Polish aviation industry... Without having to acquisition Korean FA-50 (!)...
Of course, many of you will find this my thesis and its supporting argument controversial and possibly even ridiculous... I'm certain quite a few people will laughter at her in inexcusable words, judging me from honor and glory... But I will repeat it again with full premeditation... If the plan of the Polish assault aircraft PZL-230 Scorpion and the plan of the Polish training and combat aircraft PZL I-22 Iryda were not interrupted in the 1990s, we would not gotta fear Russia as much as is happening present before our eyes!
