Kolejny, dziesiąty “Husarz” wylądował w Polsce. Wkrótce wielozadaniowy samolot F-35 będzie wykonywał swoje zadania z 32 Bazy Lotnictwa Taktycznego w Łasku. Ochrona polskiej i sojuszniczej przestrzeni powietrznej to jeden z naszych priorytetów. Budujemy siłę i zdolności polskich sił powietrznych, budujemy bezpieczeństwo naszych obywateli.

Poland ordered 32 F-35As under an agreement with the United States signed in January 2020. The aircraft will equip two Polish Air Force tactical aviation squadrons.
F-35A deliveries are also continuing elsewhere in Europe, with Finland recently receiving two more aircraft to bring its total in the country to four.
