According to Poland’s Armament Agency, the contract is valued at USD 105 million.
The agency stated that the Sniper targeting pods will be integrated onto FA-50 Block 20 fighter jets. In August 2022, Poland signed two contracts with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) for 12 FA-50 Block 10 and 32 FA-50 Block 20 (FA-50PL). The first contract was valued at USD 705 million, while the second was valued at USD 2.3 billion.
FA-50 Block 20 will be adapted to the specific requirements of the Polish Air Force.
As reported by Defence Industry Europe, Poland intends to equip the FA-50 Block 20 with PhantomStrike AESA radars manufactured by RTX. Furthermore, the fighters will be armed with AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles.
