Czym jest ten system
The eastern flank's question is whether money already committed becomes delivered capability on the timescale the posture assumes. The industrial base contracted for thirty years; almost everything published about its rebuild is an announcement, and this system keeps commissioned apart from promised.
The tier that would turn the five per cent commitment into sustainment — ammunition, interceptors and vehicles — and the one where the gap between stated and delivered is widest.

System
- Omówienie
- One plant in this module is commissioned: Rheinmetall's Unterlüß facility, opened in August 2025. The company's output figures for 2026 and 2027 are targets; its Baisogala plant in Lithuania broke ground in November 2025 and no source read in September 2026 says it is operating; Poland's state group carries a 155 mm consortium whose headline figure is a financing decision; the European Commission's own page records about €500 million disbursed across 31 projects under its ammunition instrument. Air and missile defence is read the same way: two Baltic deliveries now name a receiving force, and a multinational contract covering up to a thousand interceptors shows no delivery. Propellant and nitrocellulose are the raw-material bottleneck, and whether supply is still a problem is disputed in public.
- Current state · as of 2026-09-22
- As the economy block last assessed it (22 September 2026): one commissioned ammunition plant, targets for 2026 and 2027, a Lithuanian plant of unestablished status, and a live dispute over whether propellant supply is still a constraint.

- Artillery ammunition · Air-defence interceptors · Propellant and nitrocellulose

The one ammunition plant a source read in September 2026 records as operating.
Routes and operators
Organisations that run it
- RheinmetallManufacturer · ActiveThe European ammunition and armoured-vehicle producer whose commissioned Unterlüß plant is the one operating ammunition plant this module records, and whose other figures are targets.
- Hanwha AerospaceManufacturer · ActiveThe South Korean maker of the K9 howitzer, the closest thing the flank has to a common 155 mm gun; Polish deliveries are documented, the Romanian plant is under construction.
- Hyundai RotemManufacturer · ActiveThe South Korean maker of the K2 tank, Poland's largest armour programme; its first 180 tanks are delivered, the next 180 are contracted, and Polish production is an agreement.
- MBDAManufacturer · ActiveThe European missile maker whose CAMM family arms Poland's Narew and Pilica+ air-defence programmes; no contract date, delivery or production claim is carried yet.
Dependencies and constraints
Each marked documented (a published source states it) or assessed (Vigil infers it and says so). The two are never drawn the same way.
Propellant and nitrocellulose supply. The raw-material bottleneck behind ammunition output. One chief executive says supply is no longer a problem; industry reporting disagrees, and the dispute is live.
Delivery under contract, not contract. A contract is a financing decision and a target is a target; the module counts only what a published source records as received by a named force.
The widely cited two-million-rounds-a-year EU target is not on the Commission's own page and is not used by the module.
The Baisogala plant in Lithuania broke ground; its operating status was unestablished as of September 2026.
Rheinmetall's Unterlüß ammunition plant opened — the module's one commissioning.

Co pozostaje nieznane
- The one delivery recorded from the commissioned plant is the company's July 2026 report of a low five-figure number of projectiles to Ukraine; none to an eastern-flank force is recorded, and no flank state publishes interceptor stocks.
