It is one of Europe's largest and most important events dedicated to the defence industry. The fifteenth jubilee of the Exhibition attracted 364 companies from 24 countries. The unquestionable attraction of this fair is the opportunity to exhibit heavy military equipment both inside the pavilions and in the surrounding area within the premises of Kielce Trade Fairs. Equally interesting is the possibility to organize demonstrations of equipment in operation in a special outdoor display area. The fair is visited by a large number of professionals – commanders of the Polish Army, Police officials, representatives of the Government of the Republic of Poland, the Ministry of National Defence, and the Ministry of Interior and Administration; foreign delegations, representatives of NATO countries, military attachés accredited to Poland, ambassadors and representatives of institutions and organizations related to national defence and security. The opening of the edition held in 2007 was marked by a demonstration of the efficiency of the Land Forces, which was held at an airfield located in the village of Masłów near Kielce. It was performed by 160 soldiers, 10 helicopters, and 3 planes CASA C-295. The third day of the Exhibition saw a demonstration of rescue units representing the State Fire Brigade, which took place in an external area adjacent to the exhibition halls.What has become a tradition of the MSPO fair is national exhibitions showing particular countries' military potential. The previous editions featured exhibits prepared by Germany, France and Israel. In 2007, products were exhibited by 31 companies representing the United States.
