Poland listed the first U.S. advance payment for F-35 fighters

The operational center of the Polish Ministry of Defense confirms the information published in the Polish media about the transfer by Warsaw of the first advance payment under the F-35 fighter acquisition program.

Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland Wojciech Skurkiewicz:

The budget that is planned for the implementation of the project of our participation in the fifth generation F-35 fighter program for 2020 is PLN 1,952 (about $ 460 million). This is about 11% of the total contract value.

It turns out that the full amount of the contract for Poland is about $ 4,18 billion.

Also, the Ministry of Defense of Poland confirms the transfer of the United States of about $ 500 million under a contract to modernize the country's air defense system. The total amount in this case is $ 4,6 billion.

Polish Ministry of Defense:

The American side received the initial payment in accordance with the FMS procedure necessary to begin the implementation of the contract for the purchase of F-35 aircraft for our Air Force. We cannot provide any other information at the moment, since the parameters of the contract are protected by privacy law.

The only thing the military department notes is that we are talking about a contract for the purchase of F-35A fighters for the Polish Air Force with the latest software versions. At the same time, deliveries of the F-35 to Poland have not yet begun.

Earlier materials appeared in the Polish press about the readiness of Warsaw to acquire 41 F-35 fighter jets. If so, then one such American aircraft will cost the Polish side $ 102 million.

Full payment under the contract is planned until 2030.

I must say that a few months ago in Poland they tried to talk about whether they needed such an expensive contract. Now it becomes clear that the Polish elites in the end simply complied with the directive of those who resolve political issues in this country.

So, in contrast, you need to deploy the Su-35 or Su-57 regiment in the western direction.

[The leader of the Redskins]

It is necessary ... Just to begin with, at least to equip the Su 57 regiment ... How much is this? 40 cars somewhere? I think the Poles will finish their purchases before.

[Ros 56]

So aim the Caliber division there, let the Poles compete with them.

[figwam]

No, the regiment is now in my opinion 21 aircraft

[Cyril G ...]

We have a bunch of two-squadron regiments taking place to be, as far as I remember ..
Squadron - 12 sides. Regiment from 24 cars.

You might think there is nothing there, only U-2. Moreover, everyone here knows that the F-35 is nonsense, visible to all radars, and 700 critical shortcomings do not allow it to fly up

The F-35 has a lot of drawbacks. That's for sure.

Robert Behler, Director of Testing and Technical Assessment at the Pentagon, responsible for testing and certification of new military equipment, announced 873 defects that occur in the design and electronic systems of the F-35. His 14-page report contains a detailed description of various kinds of flaws. Among the most serious technical problems are the following:

- flaws (over 4700) in the ALIS autonomous data transmission system - the pride of Lockheed Martin Corporation, the manufacturer of the F-35. This system is a kind of "core" of the entire electronic filling of the aircraft and provides, inter alia, communication with other combat units during any operations.

- static tests of the deck F-35B showed unsatisfactory results and should be continued.

- power structures of the airframe should be made by laser cutting of metal, to increase the strength and wear resistance of the fighter.

- cracks appear on the case, near the exit of the aircraft gun. In addition, there are questions to the accuracy of the gun itself.

- The cyber security of the fighter should be enhanced.

- F-35 maintenance costs remain high, although earlier they were expected to decrease.

One nuance, during the Great Patriotic War and before it, Poland represented at least some kind of military force, unlike today.
And for me, the fighting fuse and the spirit of all of Europe disappeared during the First World War. Why? But remember how long Hitler crushed the whole of Europe for himself.

I’ll tell you bluntly: the combat potential of Russia is an order of magnitude higher than the combat potential of the 1945 Red Army. You pose the question incorrectly. It should sound like this:
Is the highest military command and power ready to be guided by the interests of the Russian state and the Russian people in the conduct of global wars?

And I don’t even remember the love of the Sawmill for additional contracts) Oh-vey, vie oh. as in such kaku. and there is all - a warrior ...

Judging by the contract, 76 boards are less noticeable.

So it turns out, the money in the pockets of the Poles, the Poles themselves do not belong

[knn54]

The State Department approved, What other questions may be?

[Sayan]

After reading it, I remembered for some reason - my grandfather and grandmother had a neighbor nicknamed a goose, drove moonshine for sale, so this goose, if the client does not have money, borrowed money for him to buy a bottle of swine from him and this moonshine thumped with him this was the condition of the loan Well, of course, the debt was then returned completely. So the campaign and these "partners"

There seems to be a mistake in the article
Poles like 32 f-35 bought.
And the price of the contract is not the price of the plane, the plane is much cheaper

[Cyril G ...]

I met infa that with the operation of the F-16 in Poland, big troubles. The average combat readiness coefficient in the region of 30-40 percent was called

[A.TOR]

I wonder how much more time will be written about the "implementation of directives" of America by Europe?

[AlexVas44]

Apparently they will write until these directives arrive and are implemented. That is the question...

[V.I.P.]

Poland spend a lot of money on rearmament. Moreover, he buys modern and expensive designs.
I can’t understand where they got the money from ??? Apart from apples, they do not have natural resources .... What do they sell (produce) such that people live normally and spend so much on defense?

[voyaka uh]

They have developed a diverse civilian industry, closely associated with German. Lots of new assembly plants.

[5-9]

EU subsidies ... but something tells me that they are already ending :)))
Well, the Germans bought up the entire economy, respectively - investments, jobs ... with Poland's economy, everything is just more or less normal ... well, who owns this question is different

[Vasya17]

Poland’s GDP is only 3 times less than the GDP of Russia with all its natural resources, so money is earned there.

[Vitauts]

The Polish Air Force will actually be able to dominate the region over Russia.

[Forest]

Over Ukraine for sure, for the rest you need a modern aircraft without 350 defects)

[Alex_You]

So much more modern? And the Poles buy the F-35A the easiest. The most problematic is the naval F-35C.

You can't forbid living beautifully, especially since the EU money is partly. That is why who in Europe is making the most noise about the threat from Russia? That's right, from Poland and the Baltic limitrophes. We need to somehow justify the militarization of our country and the lease of our territories to US bases.

[Forest]

"Purchase of F-35A fighters for the Polish Air Force with the latest software versions" - they would write more precisely with software patches)

Very inexpensive ... for 102 lyama .... even if it’s without an engine price, as in contracts with Petagon :)))

ELEPHANT AND MOSCOW
Through the streets of the Elephant they drove,
As you can see,
It’s known that Elephants are a curiosity with us -
There were crowds of onlookers behind the Elephant.
From nowhere, meet Moska them.
Seeing the Elephant, well, to him to rush,
And bark, and scream, and tear,
Well, and climbs into a fight with him.
"Neighbor, stop being shameful,"
Her mongrel says: “Do you care about Elephant?
Look, you're wheezing, and he goes to himself.
Forward
And she doesn’t notice your barking at all. ”-
"Eh, eh!" Pug replies to her:
"This is what gives me the spirit,
That I, absolutely without a fight,
I can get into big bully.

Let the dogs say:
“Ay, Pug! know she is strong
What bark at the Elephant! ”

Well, in the mid-90s, the Poles barefoot goals, they went to Ukraine for purchases.
