On February 18, 2026, the Polish military officially banned Chinese-made vehicles from entering military facilities, citing significant concerns over data security. The Polish Army stated that these modern vehicles, equipped with cutting-edge sensors and communication systems, are capable of "uncontrolled acquisition and use of data," which poses a potential risk to national security. Although exceptions to the ban may be granted if specific functions are disabled and additional security measures are implemented, the military has yet to establish a clear procedure for verifying these deactivations. Notably, the restrictions do not apply to publicly accessible military locations, such as hospitals and libraries, indicating that these measures are precautionary and in line with practices adopted by NATO allies (The Hindu).
