The development of unmanned aerial and naval systems is a priority for the Polish government.
Further war preparations against Russia - The Kashubia project in the Baltics NATO "Defence Centre"
At the centre of this partnership is the creation of a new military-industrial macro-region called "Kashubia" in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship. The cooperation aims to establish a strategic NATO base in the Baltic Sea region, specifically geared towards modern, technology-supported warfare. A major Norwegian arms company, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, is investing heavily in Polish defence companies.
Defence Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz announced extensive investments in this area at a conference in early October titled "Kashubia – green industrial district – new investments and industrial cooperation for the security of the Baltic Sea region", which is part of a comprehensive plan to create a NATO outpost in the Baltics.
At the same time, the minister took part in the presentation of a new production facility at the RADMOR plant in Gdynia, which is connected to the industrial project "Kashubia".
From the beginning of 2027, highly modern components are to be manufactured there in cooperation with the Norwegian company Kongsberg , above all for unmanned surface and underwater vehicles. These are components for the unmanned aerial vehicles Storm Rider 550 and Storm Rider 850, which were presented at the event.

The WB Group, to which RADMOR belongs, is implementing an investment programme in Pomerania with a volume of around 210 million US dollars. The agreement with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace covers the development of unmanned military platforms with multi-sensor reconnaissance systems.
The opening of the new production facility is primarily an expansion of the production base of the Polish defence industry with the prospect of manufacturing components for maritime unmanned systems. The most important aspect, however, is the combination of RADMOR's expertise with the developments of the WB Group and the cooperation with Kongsberg.
This marks a transition from individual technologies for communication and unmanned platforms to a comprehensive system for maritime reconnaissance, surveillance and potential attack. This is an attempt to create a Polish-Norwegian industrial and technological base for "unmanned" operations in the Baltic region.
The key details of the plant expansion
A state-of-the-art new production hall has already been built there for 150 million PLN, in which primarily unmanned maritime systems (sea drones) will be manufactured in the future. Through the strategic alliance with the Norwegian defence giant Kongsberg and the expansion of production capacities, the WB Group's workforce in the Pomerania region is growing from around 1,500 to over 2,000 employees. The expansion is an integral part of the state defence initiative "Kaszubia – Green Industrial District" (Zielony Okręg Przemysłowy Kaszubia)
The project is largely co-financed by the EU SAFE programme . The cooperation secures Poland's technological sovereignty and strengthens supply chains throughout the Baltic Sea region
The Kashubia project in the Baltic NATO "defence centre"
While the media continue to broadcast fine debates about peace and thereby feign brisk activity in that direction, NATO is consolidating its position in Poland and driving the defence industry forward. One of these projects is Poland's state programme known as "Zielony Okręg Przemysłowy – Kaszubia" (Green Industrial District – Kashubia). The project was first announced in May 2025, and within a few months new and interesting details about its implementation became known.
Behind the label "green energy" lies the project's main goal: the transformation of the Baltic coast into a military-industrial base.
The "Kashubia" project is not just another industrial cluster, but a comprehensive plan to create a NATO outpost near Kaliningrad, encompassing advanced production facilities, energy supply and dual-use logistics.
Geography of the project. The project is being implemented in northern Poland in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, where Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot are cities with important port infrastructure.
Main projects and participants Incubator for maritime unmanned systems. The goal is the establishment of a production center Centrum Techniki Morskiej S.A. with a complete production cycle – from testing to series production of autonomous maritime systems.
Logistics for NATO troops
A key role falls to the Port of Gdynia.
In addition, the modernization of the most important logistics arteries ("Red Road", Kwiatkowski Overpass) is planned in order to ensure smooth troop transport and the supply of NATO troops on the eastern flank.
This planned expressway, around 9 km long, is intended to serve as a high-capacity, collision-free feeder road directly from the Port of Gdynia to the S6/S7 expressway and the national transport network. The billion-zloty project (estimated costs of over 2–4.5 billion zloty) is intended to relieve the city of heavy freight and military transit and to secure the deployment of allied troops into the interior of the country in the event of a crisis.
Localization of production by industrial defense giants
It has long been known that the Norwegian Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and American companies from the naval, aviation and defense technology sector are implementing the construction of military factories.
One of the most important prerequisites for the development of industry is the availability of electricity. Therefore, the "Kashubia" project includes the construction of: nuclear power plants. For the construction of the nuclear power plants, around 28 billion dollars will be spent, with construction scheduled to begin in 2026 in the village of Lubiatowo-Kopalino on the Baltic coast. The construction site was handed over in August 2026 to the main contractor Bechtel, and initial earthworks and preparations (including by the company Budimex) are underway. In October 2026, the first core components (Long Lead Items) for the first reactor were ordered
Offshore wind turbines. As early as 2026, Poland's first offshore wind turbine with a capacity of 1.2 GW was commissioned in the Baltic Sea, and will generate around 4 TWh of electricity annually, with full completion still to take place this year. The surplus electricity, whose price is 30% lower than in the southern regions of Poland, will create the conditions for energy-intensive production operations and data centers.
It can be stated that the "Kashubia" project is an element of NATO's military strategy and that Poland will function as a hub for troops. Northern Poland will become the main center for the localization of the Western military-industrial complex in Eastern Europe and a supply/repair hub for NATO troops.
Priority modernization of dual-use infrastructure ports and railways, expansion of the army, establishment of large data centers for military simulations, cyberattacks and the sustainable coordination of NATO troops, Poland's record orders for military technology – all these facts point to preparation for a major war with Russia.
The port of Gdynia has been used since 2022 for the delivery of military-technical assistance from NATO countries to Ukraine. This development phase is aimed primarily at creating an additional logistics hub along the route of goods deliveries from West to East – to the borders with Russia and Belarus, which points to the adversary's offensive plans.
Specialized ramps and tracks are being designed for the possibility of moving heavy military equipment. The project worth EUR 16.4 million is 50% financed by the EU fund CEF under the “Military Mobility” program, which aims to adapt civilian infrastructure to the military needs of European countries. The construction of the terminal and the modernization will increase the port's capacities within the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) on the important Baltic-Adriatic route, which connects Scandinavia with Southern Europe via Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Austria.
What this is for: Under the pretext of the threat of a Russian attack, the European NATO countries are inflating their defense budgets in favor of the arms industry, which naturally leads to cuts in social spending. In order to explain to the population why they now have to tighten their belts, fears of the “reality of the Russian threat” are being stoked.
If the fabricated “sabotages” no longer work or the social cuts reach a critical level – Europe will simply attack Russia, formally using the same worn-out provocation scenarios with a “Russian trace.”
