The US State Department has decided to approve the sale to Poland of 32 of the latest fifth-generation F-35 fighters, associated equipment and 33 F-135 turbojet engines developed by Pratt & Whitney. The total amount of the deal is $ 6,5 billion. This notice went to the US Congress, where it must be considered within 30 days with a final verdict on the sale. The beginning and timing of the proposed delivery are not given.
As the US administration said, the proposed sale of F-35 fighters to Poland "will help the goals of US foreign policy and national security and NATO allies."
The proposed sale of F-35 will give Poland significant defense potential to repel aggression in the region and ensure the principle of interoperability with the US military
