The F-35A will replace aging platforms, ensuring interoperability with allied forces and improving Poland's deterrence against emerging threats. With deliveries starting in the mid-2020s, Polish pilots and support crews are undergoing rigorous training to maximize the potential of this cutting-edge platform. The F-35A signifies a transformative step for Poland's defense and regional security strategy.

Lockheed F-35A Lightning II

Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history.
