WARSAW, Poland — Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said April 29 that the Polish government aimed to sign a deal to station U.S. troops in Poland this year, and a contract to purchase F-35 fighter jets was “not far away” from being signed.
Blaszczak’s announcement in an interview with local broadcaster TVP indicates that Warsaw could aim to negotiate on the potential troop deployment in parallel with the aircraft acquisition. Poland has pitched for the United States to build a permanent military base in the country, offering to pay at least $2 billion toward the project, dubbed “Fort Trump.”
They are used for different things. F-35 has serious issues but it’s supposedly going to be like a fully pilot-integrated dual ai drone-wing man upgradable interchangeable multifunctional fighter like a gundam is to its pilot. The f-22 is just a really good fighter with early stages of the f-35’s pilot integration.

FORT TRUMP
Actually, I want this to happen and all US soldiers now in Germany to be relocated to the awesome Fort Trump in Katowize.
Carter Foster
And yet 30,000 US military personnel still occupy our soil close to the wrong border (the French border). France won’t invade.
Wyatt Diaz
>buy F35s >but still use old Hind's goddamnit I want some cool ass attack helis
Nathan Garcia
Fort Trump is not going to happen btw
Elijah Richardson

Connor Myers
F-22 is not for sale or did it change?
Xavier Cox
and isn't it out of production?
Hunter Morgan
I think Japan bought rights for making f22 and they are currently working on some f22-f35 hybrid
Sebastian Adams
The F-22 Raptor is completely out of production. All subcontractor lines feeding assembly are also gone. Even the dies are gone. To bring it back is a complete no fucking way. Some Congressman burned that bridge, and people regret it now. The f-15 production lines are still up and new versions are being designed. However, it is an old plane.
Thats pretty cool, is that an extra to some magazine?
Robert Hughes
>And the EU is paying for it Thanks hans
Carson Torres
F-22 is pure interceptor, it cannot do ANY mission besides launching DRAADM/AMRAAM
F-35 can bomb, launch mavericks or other ordnance.
Really the only F-35s drawback is single engine.
no, it was 3200
We have made request for 2 squadrons, but not because of financial strain, mostly because thats what Lockheed initially offered - if we lay down papers till end of this year, we should be able to get 2 batches of 16 in 2024 and 2028 as thats what their factories are capable to churn out
AFAIK Turkey 120 cancelled were bought up by Japanese and South Koreans and the remaining 32 is what was offered to us, so yes in future we may buy up more
Alexander Hall
It was at Lockheed's stand during Air Fair in Bydgoszcz
Asher Adams
Also btw, there is a typo in the title. It should be "myśliwiec", not "myświec", kek.
Grayson Murphy
If I were them id get Sukhoi t50s instead not only as a fuck you to the EU and us but they are just better tactically for their location. F35s are good long range strike fighters really designed to be most effectively used by the navy, they are not great dog fighters which is what they would need when they defect from Europe.
Isaiah Peterson
>, they are not great dog fighters which is what they would need when they defect from Europe.

inb4 block -2 without even finalized software mockup dogfight against f-16 (which btw out turns f15 yet nobody even tries to contest that f16 is better asf)
Bentley Murphy
>Buying weapons from your potential enemy Great idea.
Our MIGs are already falling apart, because of lack of service and spare parts.
Aaron Taylor
You guys have tons of t72s and bmps from russia.
Caleb Hernandez
We will buy them, for higher price than should be beacuse our gov are stupid goys, and beacuse of syonistTrump and act 447
James Bennett
We actually had blueprints for T-72s and bmps. That's a different things.
Jacob Brooks
Nigger do you not know the history between Poland and Russia?
John Lee
what a shitshow, the F-22 was the best plane ever made
Luis Rogers
It's also kind of unnecessary unless you need a dedicated air superiority fighter, which most countries don't.
And honestly the US already has the first and second best air superiority fighters on the planet in our inventory so at a certain point you don't really need anymore unless we suddenly find ourselves in WW3 with another super power (which doesn't exist.) Hell the F-15 on its own could wipe out the entire Russian and chink air forces.
Nathaniel Phillips
Why would they do that?
Xavier Martinez
Eventually we will mis the days of Hitler.
Jaxson Roberts
won't USA just cut supply of any components unless Poland pays it's tribute to Israel?
James Young
Poland is the fucking BEST
Adrian Davis
>32 fifth-generation aircraft It says 32, not 320, retard.
Elijah Ross
retards gonna pay their reparations to Israel after all, ROFL
Jordan Brooks
Because we had enough already when combined with the F-15 (USAF) and, at that time, the F-14 (USN). The military wanted to get away from large numbers of air superiority and intercepter aircraft for multiroles like the F-15E, F/A-18E/F, and F-35 because air superiority and intercepter aircraft are incredibly expensive for how rarely you end up using them.
As to why the tooling was then destroyed the worry was espionage. Those aircraft are full of highly classified technology that you do not want ending up in chinkland, Russia, or anywhere else so the usual thing to do when you're done with production is to make a decision as the whether you want to keep the tooling based on your future needs and what else you have coming down the pipeline. In the F-22s case it was decides the tooling was not worth keeping around due to those reasons. They did the same thing with the F-14 tooling too btw, so it's not a super rare practice.
Brandon Brooks
OH. Hmm suppose that makes sense then. Be kinda SOL if things went pear shaped and they wanted to build more pronto, but I suppose they've replaced them with a new design.
Josiah Cooper
This number is ridiculous and every self aware polish citizen should know that. Maybe it's a PR stunt but even if they aquire F35's it will be in a far smaller number.
I think it's more likely they will be forced to join a joint-EU nextgen fighter desaster like the Eurofighter with germany and france.
James Nguyen
>spend money on designing brochure >spend money printing it >be too lazy to type stuff into Word >make retarded typo
I hope their airplanes are better than their language skills
Bentley Ortiz
At least they’re getting something out of buying F-35’s
We will fly F-35s and then maybe buy 6th gen from FR-DE if it's of any success
Hudson Nelson
just modernize hinds, they are awesome. But you should acquire some lighter helis like we did with kiowas. If you manage to modernize them properly we might send our "retired" hinds to modernize. If russians did it you can too
Blake White
new FR-DE fighter won't be available before 2040s. Lazy bastards, they could make them by 2030 if they tried and actually put more funds into it
Luis Richardson
The tooling for the F-15 is still around, and the F/A-18E/F, F-16 and F-35 can all serve in an air superiority role if need be, just need to change out the armament a bit. But yes they undoubtedly have other, currently classified, designs in the pipeline as well if things were to go tits up.
You also have to remember how good the F-15 is. If the F-22 didn't exist the F-15 would still be the objectively best air superiority fighter in the air right now so, again, if shit went tits up they would likely crank out a bunch of F-15s, F-35s, and F/A-18E/Fs to compensate.
Logan Rodriguez
Poland is the auxiliary airfield for Germany.
Parker Powell
how much for one squadroon of F-15s?
Sebastian Brown
>Does Poland truly have the money to afford 320 F-35s? No they fucking dont ! Our reparations money will not be spent on some F-35 shit !
You can call me butthurt all you want, Poland is never gonna aquire and maintain 320 F35's.
Ayden Scott
>Hell the F-15 on its own could wipe out the entire Russian and chink air forces.
The US posesses the most powerful aur force in the world, there is little doubt about that, but statements like the one above are simply delusional.
Tyler Harris
The F-15 has never been shot down. Ever.
Jose Green
32 friend. not 320. and yes. though i doubt they will let us buy them, considering we are first suppose to pay 200 bilions in reparation to Israel for WWII.
i told you in that thread, the money will flow one way or another, remember?
Sebastian Taylor
USA will give them over for cheap. Poland is a judeo-american puppet state, not a real country.
Colton Young
F-35 was designed to be jack of all trades, master of none. It's an inferior plane that was designed for export, so the USA doesn't need to worry about ever going up against superior platforms.
Josiah Rogers
I don't think you understand how expensive an airfleet of gen 5's is both to buy and maintain. 320 would explode the budget of every western economy aside from the US maybe; And poland isn't the US and never will be.
Isaiah Garcia
Pierre pls go
Wyatt Foster
You dont need more than 140 for a modern war but they need to be diversified not only multirole like the F35
Jackson Fisher
An upgraded YF-23 will be sold in the future. It'll come with it's own laser.
This, either Poland becomes Paradisus Judaeorum 2.0 or the Jews controlling our ZOG let the Russians sick them
Isaac Reyes
pff and you underestimate stuff some poles can do.
bought lepards from you. by our standards a new tank. paid for upgrades to newest nato specific. New goverment comes in. We can't have tanks in the middle of country, we need them in the east. Proced to take tanks from our only tank division and give it to one that had t70. they have no facilities for the new tanks. So one year later rat, rust and cold do most of the tank in. As they were mostly held under open air, same way the t70 were.
This way our minister, who is totaly not either insane or russian agent or both, manged to destroy one tank division, and disarm another one.
Kayden Morgan
It is a fact. F-35 is outperformed by any plane with dedicated role. It just does a lot of shit well enough to get by. Good enough for NATO. USA isn't going to sell Europe the good stuff and risk some ambitious careerist cunt like Mama Merkel going rogue with the EU military.
Juan Powell
>F-35 is outperformed by any plane with dedicated role Sure, if you fly every single other plane empty and ignore datalink and stealth, but that would be retarded. You aren't a retard, are you user?
Owen Thompson
Without getting into technical details and just logically speaking surely a dedicated plane will always outperform a non-dedicated one?
Christopher Davis
Pooland wants to blow its gibs on 320 overpriced flying bricks. Clown world. Honk honk.
Jeremiah Watson
Yeah the leopard deal was comparable cheap for poland and the tanks already quite old at that point. I don't think you ever got around upgrading them to a modern standard either but I could be wrong on that.
Anyway, this missmanagement and failure to keep your equipment operable even on cheap tanks with a massive amount of spareparts available just shows what a disaster of a shitshow 320 F35 would be. Hell germany barely has 10 flying Eurofighters with a 49 billion budget and the 8. largest spending in the world.
Great, now i have to remove the wheels on my car every time i stop, just so it won't end up in poland within the next 2 hours.
Liam Young
>buy the plane that doesn't have any production lines set up and hasn't been produced in years >and isn't allowed to be exported anyway are you high
Angel Wood
We did. Paid a ton of money for new targeting systems, you guys tuned the engines. Comparing to our old stuff they were great. And then our minister destroyed them in one winter :D They were in good shape before him. Our pride.
And that is nothing inPoland will ever work.
Imagine this. you have a military secret service. Green win the elections, I know impossible, their minister of justice decides that they are all american agents. Makes the name of each agent public, even those that are on a mission in islamic countries.
The same dude that did in the leopards, dissmantled the polish military inteligance. And no one knows if he is just insane or Russian agent.
Sebastian Martin
you almost got it right, mountain jew
*so it doesn't end up in Russia, driven through Poland, stolen by Polish, and orchestrated with owner so he gets AC payback
This is how it looks in most militaries nowadays tho. Few exceptions but mostly broken shit that got sacrificed for political reason as in or because of missing budget.
Aaron Sullivan
It is mostly insanity. I will give you another example the dude that is the true ruler of Poland right now, has this idea that he is going to recreate the Polish Common Wealth. And he does not care about the future or reality.
He cared about 2 people. His mom, who also was his bank account till he hit 67y, and his twin brother. Both are dead. he has no family, no wife, no kids. Hates the dude he blames for his brothers death, even if it was he who forced him to land on an air port that technicaly doesn't exist.
Other people vote for Jesus becoming the King of Poland etc. The country is beyond normal incompetance.
Anthony Peterson
Holy fuck it is going to cost us billions, doesnt it? And the service costs, goddamn my head is starting to hurt already.
Cameron Green
>And poland isn't the US and never will be. Poland was the US of the world before the US even existed.
