Every year Poland allocates funds for the maintenance and modernization of the army. The aim of the article is to analyze changes in the size and structure of Poland's defense spending over the years 2012-2022, with particular emphasis on spending on military means of transport. A forecast of the amount of defense spending for the coming years will also be presented. Taking up this topic seems justified due to the fact that in connection with Russia's aggression in Ukraine, the defense policy of NATO member states, including Poland, is changing dynamically. There is a clear trend towards increasing defense spending and expanding military potential, as well as towards technical modernization of the army. The further part of the article also presents selected ordered or recently acquired means of transport for the Polish Army. The article is of a review character and has been prepared on the basis of an analysis of source documents, literature on the subject and statistical data. The following research hypotheses were adopted in the work: Poland's defense spending has an upward trend. Military transport means constitute an important part of Poland's defense expenditure. In recent years, Poland has been acquiring modern military means of transport. The acquisition of military helicopters is an important goal for which Poland's defense spending is allocated. Poland's defense spending will be increased in the coming years. All hypotheses put forward in this article have been confirmed. A detailed analysis has shown that Poland's defense expenditures have an upward trend and an important part of these expenditures are military means of transport, in particular military helicopters. It has also been proven that in recent years Poland has signed many costly contracts for the acquisition of modern military means of transport. Everything indicates that the upward trend in Poland's defense spending will continue to be visible in the near future. It can also be expected that new means of transport will be acquired and the existing ones modernized.
