Seeking missiles
Poland wants to acquire for its fleet of F-16 fighter jets 40 air-to-surface missiles, which are designed to cruise autonomously using an infrared seeker. They are also seeking other upgrades to the F-16 aircraft.
The Pentagon is asking Congress to approve a $500 million foreign military sale to deliver the Lockheed Martin Corporation missiles saying: Poland continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in Central Europe, and the sale would improve Poland’s capability to meet current and future threats of enemy air and ground weapons systems.
Poland will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense.
