Should Poland suspend its participation in the treaty, it will no longer be constrained by limits on the size of its armed forces nor have to annually report on their status.
However, in most categories, Poland, like many other signatories, is far from reaching those limits, making suspension of the treaty mostly symbolic. Under CFE, Poland is allowed to have up to 1,630 tanks, 2,150 armoured combat vehicles, 1,610 artillery units, 460 combat aircraft and 130 attack helicopters.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion [say the line Bart!] of Ukraine, Poland has embarked on an unprecedented military spending spree, agreeing the purchase of hundreds of modern tanks, aircraft, air defence systems, and other hardware, mainly from the United States, South Korea and the United Kingdom.
Btw so far all those new deals failed. Literally ALL of them. Poland military contracts are such a hub of ineptitude and corruption that even US MIC can only gape in awe. We build one patrol boat for nearly two decades and try to buy helicopters for nearly as long without any success.

In that case, here's hoping they keep it up!
