Yes Chinese copies and old Soviet crap works so much better....

Do you remember Poland from 1795 to 1918?
No?
Me neither.
If they are not careful enough this period can be repeated.

But it's not desired. Because of the ruling elite, which is connected to Washington and London and all the rest of these places. Thus the history taught, the party line, etc.. speaks only of the bad.
It's always like this. History is rewritten, or if not rewritten then re-accented, in accordance with the geopolitical preferences of the day.
The sort of regimes set up in Eastern Europe have emphasized mistrust and contempt towards Russia more than almost any in Western Europe. And this is by design.
But it's very naive to think of these country's populations, in Poland, Romania, etc.. as being some sort of monoliths behind the official agenda. No-one wants to become the next Bandera regime at the command of Washington and start churning out armed Russia-haters for a military show-down with Russia at some point in the near future.

Poland is about to buy 96 Apache helos. Making them the second largest user in the world.
Its very easy to throw out these grocery lists with big numbers of wunderwaffen [Oh, so scary, I just shat my pants Razz ]. Costs nothing, and makes for great soundbites.
But the question is: can they afford it?
