Popis: The article analyses and assesses current capabilities of the Missile and Forces Artillery of the Polish Armed Forces as well as a role which should be played by artillery in conditions of a contempo-rary battlefield. By addressing a current state and modernization programs, the most principal areas of indispensable adaptations and directions for modernization aiming at significant increasing of artillery’s combat capabilities have been indicated. The analysis is based on conclusions and expertise gained during resent armed conflicts, particularly from the war in eastern Ukraine, where artillery played a crucial role in fire support. Artillery remains a relatively inexpensive, highly efficient and the most available means of fire support in the Polish Armed Forces, and its modernization and adaptation to NATO standards will con-siderably increase the combat potential the Polish Land Forces.
