Poland's 10th F-35A Stealth Fighter Lands on NATO's Eastern Flank as Italy Takes Over Assembly
Poland received its tenth F-35A in country when aircraft 3518 arrived at Łask’s 32nd Tactical Air Base, the defence ministry announced on October 27. The Husarz fighter is the second Polish aircraft assembled at Italy’s Cameri Final Assembly and Check-Out facility, while eight earlier aircraft remain at Ebbing Air National Guard Base for training. The new arrival expands the locally based fleet under Poland’s 32-aircraft programme, with Cameri supplying subsequent deliveries alongside the existing US-built aircraft. Warsaw expects further arrivals before year-end as personnel training, acceptance flights and preparations for operational employment continue.
