Possible location of the second F-35 squadron of the Polish Air Force determined

37

According to a high-ranking employee of Lockheed Martin, Vice President JR MacDonald, which he accidentally revealed at a speech in the Polish city of Kielce, where the MSPO defense exhibition was held, the possible location of the second F-35A squadron of the Polish Air Force has been determined. These planes will eventually have to arrive from the United States.

Reported by the American magazine Breaking Defense.



The new aircraft will be deployed at the 21st Svidwin Tactical Air Base in northwestern Poland, near the Baltic coast. The first squadron of fighters will arrive in the area of ​​the city of Lask in the center of the country, and nothing has been officially announced about the second.

Currently, 12 Su-22M4 and six Su-22UM3K are deployed at the airbase in Svidvin, which are used to train Polish pilots.

MacDonald said that the Poles will receive 32 F-35A aircraft, that is, two squadrons of 16 fighters each. They will begin to be produced for the Polish Air Force in 2022.

Journalists note that the location of the air bases for the F-35 has one very significant drawback. Both of them are within the reach of the Russian Iskander missile systems (OTRK) and the S-400 Triumph (in terms of range and height when flying Polish aviation), stationed in the Kaliningrad region of Russia.

    Well, duck, after all, according to local experts - F35 bullshit is not combat-ready, not like our dryers. So we need to rejoice - the defenses of Poland and NATO will be weakened !!! drinks

      This suggests that the Polish Ministry of Defense does not believe in the aggression of the Russian Federation

        The main thing is that the Russian General Staff believes in the aggression of NATO / Poland as a segment of a single combat vehicle / The topic of Russian aggression is very interesting. Uryashki is used to denote their invincibility, and dull NATO members, under this barrel organ, are building up strike groups on the border.

        They stupidly expose the country (their people) to the first blow, in the event of a serious conflict with the United States, etc. Why can't they live in peace? It seems like the Slavs too, but very harmful. Why do they need all this? After all, they have already fought and they know what it is, how they are being exposed to attack. Eh Poles, your arrogance will ruin you soldier

          Hypothetically, let us imagine purely in our imagination that a great Sabbath begins - Russia against "Europe" and in this whole history the Poles do not have any NATO bases on their territory. In this scenario, Russia will bypass Poland along the border? Or will it try to use its advantageous territorial location as a springboard? All these stories about "do not do this, otherwise it will be worse", "do not provoke, otherwise it will be worse" - fairy tales for the poor. Is Ukraine going to return Crimea by military means or Japan - the Kuriles ?? Nuuu this can only be imagined in an alternative reality. And nevertheless, the Ministry of Defense maintains reinforced groups with modern weapons in these areas.

          The choice is small - either one side or the other.
          Explain in which case Poland will not expose itself
          yourself on the first blow?
          As for me, only one thing - if he moves to the Urals.

        This suggests that practically all of Poland is being "shot" by Iskander missiles. And it doesn't make a big difference where the fighters are stationed.

        Greetings, focus on capturing the rocket. Detection is at 5, and then the rocket goes, with its limited energy to capture the target. And there are Growlers in the 2nd echelon to cut off the nimble. I will say that the concept of air warfare is imposed by the most advanced , prepared, and therefore sophisticated.

    Poles are Russophobes. Turn on the remnants of your healthy neurons. Your airfields with the F-35 will be the first target
    if you decide to follow the lead of the Anglo-Saxons, paying them with your "meat" in the war with Russia. Although you yourself run into this, most of all in Europe.

    Well, Israel knows for sure whether they see it or not. For which they are already creating the third squadron, all the news from Syria was that without entering the airspace of F16 or F18 they struck and not a word about fu35

      The mess in Syria has been going on for one year already, and Israel is selflessly ironing its territory.
      Apparently, given the dynamics of their aircraft lost over these long years, the Israelis believe that the F-16 and F-15 are fully coping with the assigned
      on them tasks and do not waste the resource of the more expensive in operation F-35.

    -Commander, we are surrounded!
    -Great, now we can attack in any direction! wink
    This is how similar news looks like. For some reason, we like to mention that Iskanders are shooting all over Europe from Kaliningrad, but we do not like to mention that all of Europe is shooting at Kaliningrad.

    The Germans and the French are frustrating, money for the Poles to live on - they tear themselves away from themselves, as well as the Balts, and these toys are expensive to buy. We settled in normally, the Union was dragging on itself, now another Union, the Euro, continues the same.

    Of course, the F-35 for the Polish Air Force is not a necessity, but the patronage of their overseas friends. Why buy the most expensive fighters when there are many contenders, which are much cheaper and have proven their effectiveness. The Americans, as always, opened the bag of greens, the usual corruption, as with the Abrams tanks, which have no place in Europe at all. A little time will pass, everything will open and someone will sit down.

      What's the problem with Poland? Let's play - I'll play you (virtually)
      I will appoint the "head" of Poland. You have a choice - to be in NATO and to be
      AT THE SIGHT OF ISKANDERS. Badly? Then the second option is to be
      in the CSTO, and then NO SIGHTING IS NECESSARY - NATO will hit DIRECT
      GUIDANCE - there is not even a kilometer. And if you consider that today is not
      September 1, 1939, when there was one FAU that launches rockets today
      everything that runs on two legs and everything that is on wheels and caterpillars, and everything,
      that flies horizontally and vertically, then 10 days before Warsaw already
      no need, 10 hours behind the eyes will be. Oh, you haven't made a choice yet - then
      I fire another weapon, it does not spew flames and does not rumble - IT
      SHELESTIT. NATO and the EU have uploaded such a heap of billions of dollars
      to Poland for 30 years (and still continues to download), what if Russia
      there was not one, but three, then she would not have given a third. And when I start
      call a number, then you, without waiting for the last zero ... Well, what about you
      so yell "YES-A!" - you will rip off your voice, and you should report back to the Diet in the evening,
      it was enough to just nod.
      Well, whoever is aiming at the sight - let him eat a crouton and aim - to health.
      Poles want to LIVE TODAY! And they live well - they crush on both cheeks
      free billions, buy Abrams, F-35, "Turkish", for a minute.
      And the "Australian" submarines will buy (the French will be very stupid if they miss such a chance).
      And tomorrow ..... tomorrow we will all be far away, it is quiet and peaceful there.
