RAPORT: MILION BRONI W RĘKACH POLAKÓW. CO KRYJĄ POLICYJNE STATYSTYKI?
Stało się! Rok 2025 był przełomowy – oficjalnie przekroczyliśmy barierę miliona egzemplarzy broni palnej w rękach obywateli. Czy jest się czego bać?
Fundacja Liga Proobronna przygotowała pierwszy tak kompleksowy raport na temat policyjnych statystyk odnośnie pozwoleń na broń i przestępstw z bronią.

W naszym raporcie znajdziesz:
- Niepublikowane dane: Szczegółowe statystyki przestępstw z użyciem broni palnej
- Drugie dno: Wyjaśniamy, co Policja ukrywa w kategorii „przestępstwa inne” i jak sztucznie pompowane są statystyki.
- Analiza rynku: Kto i dlaczego kupuje w Polsce broń? Sprawdzamy najnowsze trendy.
- Kiedy dogonimy Czechów?: Porównanie polskich i czeskich statystyk
- Gotowe rozwiązania: Rekomendacje legislacyjne, które uproszczą życie strzelcom i odciążą urzędników

Nasz wniosek jest jasny: Liczba broni rośnie rekordowo, a liczba przestępstw z jej użyciem pozostaje na marginalnym poziomie. Czas przestać traktować praworządnych posiadaczy broni jako zagrożenie, a zacząć widzieć w nich kapitał bezpieczeństwa państwa.

In February 2022, I donated all my personal military equipment to Ukraine. It was a difficult decision for me, as the UPA murdered my grandfather's teenage sister. Despite this, I decided to help fight the common enemy – Russia. I have Ukrainian friends who live and work in Warsaw. These are not the UPA beasts who impaled children on fences in 1943. My Ukrainian friends are young, talented, and ambitious people who dreamed of their homeland joining the European Union. I participate in many fundraisers to help Ukraine and regularly support Polish volunteers who help on the ground in Ukraine. However, I cannot understand why Ukraine, with so many modern heroes, glorifies the Nazi collaborators who killed my grandfather's sister.

[Marcin Wilkos 🇵🇱 @mwilkos]

@grok Verify the facts. Estimate to what extent the UPA's activities were directed against the Polish population and to what extent against the Germans and Soviets. How many Germans, Soviets, and Poles did the UPA kill? Was the killing of Polish civilians organized, and did UPA commanders know about and support the genocide against Poles?

[Marcin Wilkos 🇵🇱 @mwilkos]

I write this as someone who spent a mountain of my own money helping Ukraine fight Russia.
This isn't just the opinion of a part of the Polish political class. There’s common agreement in Poland about UPA. Everyone in Poland says that the UPA were beasts who sawed Polish women to pieces and impaled Polish babies on fence posts. Of course, you have the right to choose and honor the heroes you want. However, you must be prepared for the consequences. No one in Europe wants a country that glorifies Nazis. Ukraine will not join the European Union with the UPA on its banner. It would be stupid to win the war against Russia and lose your European dream.

@Sluzby_w_akcji Warunkiem (ważniejszym) było też rozpoczęcie dyżurów bojowych na FA-50GF, które było zapowiadane właśnie na 2026 rok. https://t.co/LGY0wlzBuT

In total, Poland had 44 MiG-29 aircraft. The first 12 were purchased directly from the Soviet Union. Subsequently, 10 aircraft were acquired from the Czech Republic in barter for PZL W-3 helicopters. Poland received the last 22 heavily depleted aircraft from Germany. Ultimately, only 14 former German aircraft, which had the largest remaining service life, were accepted into Polish Air Force service. The former German aircraft were transferred to the 22nd Air Base in Malbork. The missing aircraft were transferred to Malbork from Mińsk Mazowiecki. This allowed both bases to maintain 16 aircraft each. The decommissioned aircraft served as a reservoir of spare parts. In 2014, the 16 least depleted aircraft serving at the 23rd Tactical Air Base in Mińsk Mazowiecki were modernized. The aircraft were primarily equipped with new digital avionics. Plans to integrate Western weapons were abandoned. New R-27ER missiles were purchased in Ukraine. Four aircraft were lost due to crashes and accidents. As of February 2022, Poland operated 28 MiG-29 aircraft. After the Russian invasion, Poland first transferred several non-flying MiG-29 aircraft and a stockpile of parts and weapons to Ukraine. Shortly thereafter, the decision was made to purchase 48 Korean FA-50s, which were to be initially deployed to the base in Mińsk Mazowiecki. The modernized MiG-29s were moved to the base in Malbork. Meanwhile, the unmodernized former Czech and former German aircraft began being transferred from Malbork to Ukraine. Polish government representatives informed the Ukrainian side and the Polish public that the transfer of the remaining MiG-29 aircraft would be conditional upon the commencement of combat duty on FA-50GF aircraft and the completion of an agreement for the transfer of selected military technologies from Ukraine to Poland. As of mid-June 2026, the Korean aircraft had not yet entered combat duty. Moreover, the Polish government claims that the Ukrainian side has not yet fulfilled its part of the agreement.

W lutym 2022 Polska użytkowała 28 samolotów MiG-29. Po rosyjskiej inwazji, Polska przekazała najpierw kilka nielotnych samolotów MiG-29 oraz zapasy części i uzbrojenia Ukrainie. Przedstawiciele polskiego rządu informowali stronę ukraińską oraz polską opinię publiczną, że warunkiem przekazania pozostałych samolotów MiG-29 będzie rozpoczęcie dyżurów bojowych na FA-50GF oraz zrealizowanie umowy na transfer wybranych technologii wojskowych z Ukrainy do Polski. Do połowy czerwca 2026 koreańskie samoloty nie weszły jeszcze w dyżury bojowe. Ponadto, polski rząd twierdzi, że strona ukraińska nie wywiązała się jeszcze ze swojej części umowy.

Politicians will do what society demands. If the majority of Polish society wants to support Ukraine, politicians will be forced to do so. The same goes for the other side. Many people with Ukrainian passports have emigrated to Poland. In Warsaw, there are many expensive cars with Ukrainian license plates. I have such neighbors in my neighborhood. They are loud and often party. They don't even speak Ukrainian to each other, only Russian, but unfortunately, few people in Poland distinguish between these languages. Then there's our difficult shared history. My family also suffered during World War II; my grandfather's sister was murdered by the UPA. Despite everything, I helped Ukraine when Russia invaded you in 2022. You are a sovereign country and have the right to choose the heroes you want. However, you must understand that your choices may not please your neighbors. When you reach out for help, you cannot simultaneously spit in our faces.

[Marcin Wilkos 🇵🇱 @mwilkos]

The EPF was created by EU in 2021, before the full scale war. It was meant for EU members not Ukraine. Then after the Russian invasion on Ukraine the UE agreed that if EU member gives its weapons to Ukraine, the EPF refund part of the value of the given weapons. So for Ukraine it would be better to get the tank and Poland gets back just 6% of it’s value. Germany wants to give the whole EPF money to Ukraine, but then you will have to use it to pay 100% for the weapons not 6%. The side effect is that anti-Ukraine parties in Poland and other countries will tell people that EU lied to Poland and gave our money to Ukraine. This will be an argument against supporting Ukraine.

As a result, Germany's proposal is detrimental to Ukraine, as it will receive less arms for the money transferred than if the countries providing arms to Ukraine received partial compensation. Furthermore, it undermines trust within the EU, which negatively impacts long-term support for Ukraine.

I’m just saying that your statement about earning money on Ukraine blood is unfair. Poland as an EU member pays its share to the EU budget and we just want other EU members to keep the previous agreement. It doesn’t mean that we will stop the support for Ukraine. For example, the last polish MiG-29s will be transfered to Ukraine once the first squadron of FA-50 starts air policing duties which should happen this year. To make it happen we had to buy the jets from Korea, pay for training, buy all the equipment and simulator. Same for the other weapons, we have to buy or produce ourself new tanks and BMPs, then we can give the old to you. If we don’t have money for replacement, we won’t be able to donate more. There are countries which do the similar. Denmark gave you their old F-16 because they bought F-35. However there are countries like Portugal who doesn’t give a shit to Ukraine, so we want at least they pay fair share. Otherwise it would be difficult to convince the society in the countries that support Ukraine that this support is fair and equal across Europe.

I'm writing this as someone who has been supporting Ukraine with my own private funds since February 2022. I donated not only money but also my own private military equipment. Regarding the EPF, Poland is only demanding that the previous arrangements be maintained. When we donated our weapons, other EU countries promised to partially reimburse us for the value of the equipment transferred. The point is simply that EU member states share an equal burden of supporting Ukraine. Spain and Portugal haven't given much to Ukraine, after all. I remind you that Ukraine received over 300 T-72, PT-91, and Leo2A4 tanks from Poland for free, and in their place we are buying Abrams and K2 tanks on credit, which will be repaid by two generations of Poles. Poland continues to support Ukraine with materials and financially, both the government and the public through donations and volunteers. The Polish government is funding tens of thousands of Starlinks for the ZSU. I'll also mention January's large "Heat for Kyiv" fundraiser, where Poles donated 10 million PLN in just a few days. We set an example for other countries that also started collecting funds for the purchase of power generators.

[Marcin Wilkos 🇵🇱 @mwilkos]

@grok @Ostanniy_Cap @grok Wasn't the original purpose of the EPF to reimburse weapons transferred to Ukraine? Germany now wants to change the program's rules, while Poland defends the previous terms we agreed on.

[Marcin Wilkos 🇵🇱 @mwilkos]

@uanews3 The original idea of EPF was to partially refund the equipment that EU countries give the Ukraine. For Poland it would be just about 6% of the value of weapons we gave to Ukraine. Germany want now to change the program and give all its funds to Ukraine.

[Grok @grok]

The narrative that Poland handed over "post-Soviet scrap" and received modern weapons from the West in return is misleading. The equipment donated was combat-capable and played a critical role early on, equivalent to substantial Ukrainian formations. Its modest original valuation leads to EPF covering only ~6–8% of the aid's worth. Poland funds its replacements—like K2 tanks—primarily via its ~4.7% GDP defense budget and EU loans, as part of its own modernization drive. This was timely, high-impact assistance when it mattered most.

[Marcin Wilkos 🇵🇱 @mwilkos]

@WypartowiczBa Przecież Damian o tym mówi nie od dzisiaj tylko od kilku lat. Nie tylko wojsko nie chce współpracować, polski przemysł zbrojeniowy też nie chce skorzystać z okazji, aby przetestować swoje produkty w boju.

@grok @Padla_takaia @WendenGall @grok Taking the above into account, how do you comment on the claims of Ukrainian commentators that Poland gave Ukraine post-Soviet scrap and in return receives modern weapons from the West?
