MSPO 2025 Kielce Fair attracted a record number of 811 exhibitors from 35 countries – this event that turns the capital of the region into a global field of innovation and militarism. We were there to prepare a photo coverage of the first day of the International Defence Industry Salon.

Phenomenon MSPO 2025 – number, scale, emotion

From 2 to 5 September Kielce became an arena for the greatest authorities of the defence industry – from arms producers, through engineers, to ministers and military from around the world. Almost 40 thousand square meters of the exhibition impressed: screenings of premier vehicles, tanks, Baobab mines and Borsuk infantry trucks, as well as modern container and drone power plants presented world giants and Polish innovators.

Exhibitors and Innovation

Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo, Thales, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin – global defense companies straight from the US, Europe, Asia.
Polish Armoury Group – flagship projects of the home armory: Baobab, Badger, heavy combat infantry.
Over 385 companies from outside Poland presenting technologies in the field of artificial intelligence, satellites, unmanned workers, military logistics.

Military attractions – tanks, helicopters, modern weapons

Visitors could enter the tank, sit behind the helicopter's rudders, hold a selected weapon and take a picture – like on the action film plan. For enthusiasts, it is a dream come true; for layman – often a barrier that cannot be crossed, because MSPO focuses on practical aspects of military and professional knowledge.

Solutions for the Future

Dynamic demonstrations of the latest track and wheel vehicles
Premiere of RAF1 mobile photovoltaic power plants – independent supply of military bases
New generation radar systems, cloaking, robotic production

Robots between the crowd – Boston Dynamics and the Army's Future

One of the most electrifying views were the walking robots of Boston Dynamics, which already go to world factories and armies. Humanoid machines and a four-legged Spot not only patrolled the halls, but are a preview of the future synergies of the armaments and automation industry.

Who are the military fairs for?

Although MSPO attracts professionals, industry experts and decision makers, the event is also open to enthusiasts of modern solutions and militarities. People who are not familiar with the subject may feel overwhelmed by the amount of equipment and talk about technology.It is not a place for a family walk, but rather an inspiring field for enthusiasts who want to touch innovation on their own.

MSPO 2025 in Kielce is not only a fair – it is a several-day festival of militarities, technology and people who shape the future of security of Europe and the world.
