Abstract
Ever since the Second World War, Europe has not experienced a major interstate conflict until the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The primary purpose of this study is to determine how Poland and the United Kingdom have altered their military procurement strategies in response to the perceived threats from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through the lens of the balance of threat theory by Stephen Walt, with a specific emphasis on Poland due to its historical experiences with Russia. The study will further ask how effective a perceived threat is in becoming a determinant for the increased acquisition of military equipment. To achieve this, the researchers aim to conduct a qualitative case study to analyze the trends in the acquisition of military equipment by the United Kingdom, France, and Poland. The results have shown that all the chosen countries have increased their defense spending at varying levels, with Poland being the highest. This is because of its unique geographic position in Europe, which neighbors Russia and Belarus, and its unique history that alters its threat perception vis-a-vis Russia.
