Polish Air Force

The purchase of the two Erieye Saab 340s springs from an urgent requirement from Poland to bolster aerial surveillance of its borders with Russia.

British Eurofighter Typhoons and Norwegian Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighters have performed their first landings and takeoffs from road runways.

Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak revealed in May that his government was in advanced talks to obtain early warning aircraft from Sweden.

The first two—part of an order of 12—of the Korea Aerospace Industries FA-50 light attack aircraft arrived on July 8 after being airlifted into Poland.

Raytheon's PhantomStrike was one of several AESA radar sets being considered for Poland’s future FA-50PL fleet being built by KAI.

The announcement by Warsaw breaks a year-long impasse over whether Western governments would heed Ukrainian demands for fighters.

U.S. pushes for more Ukraine aid; U.S. tankers grounded; Polish MQ-9 flights to start; and replacing Russian platforms.

The platforms will be used by the Polish Air Force with their operations likely focused along the country’s border with Belarus and Russian exclave Kaliningrad.

German aircraft responding to Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) missions will be able to operate in Polish airspace and vice-versa in an arrangement that mirrors a similar pact between the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
