State Department Approves Military Sale to Poland

The State Department approved a potential $6.5 billion sale of military goods to Poland, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a Sept. 11 press release. The sale includes 32 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft along with engines, “electronic warfare systems,” communications equipment, navigation and identification equipment, weapons capabilities and more. The DSCA said the sale will help the national security of the U.S. by aiding a North Atlantic Treaty Organization ally. The contractors will be Texas-based Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company and Connecticut-based Pratt & Whitney Military Engines.
