Poland has received five more F-35A “Husarz” fifth-generation fighter jets, strengthening NATO’s eastern flank amid growing security concerns surrounding Russia and the heavily militarised Kaliningrad exclave. The aircraft landed at the 32nd Tactical Air Base in Łask on August 28, bringing Poland’s delivered F-35 fleet to eight, with more jets expected under Warsaw’s $4.6 billion contract for 32 aircraft.
