Boeing Showcases F-15EX to Polish Defense Ministry Amid Fighter Acquisition Plans

Boeing presented the F-15EX fighter aircraft to the Polish Ministry of National Defense during an event in Warsaw on October 29. The demonstration aligns with Poland’s plan to acquire up to 32 new combat jets.

The company aims to strengthen its proposal by offering an industrial cooperation package for Poland’s defense sector. The package includes the potential transfer of capabilities and the addition of MQ-28 Ghost Bat drones.

Marissa Myers, Boeing’s senior business development manager, stated that Poland already possesses maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities relevant to the program. “Poland already has MRO capabilities to offer,” Myers said.

Boeing has signed several Memorandums of Understanding with Polish companies and is collaborating with local universities to develop the necessary workforce and infrastructure.

In addition to the F-15EX, Poland is considering the acquisition of 32 fifth-generation F-35 fighters or the Eurofighter Typhoon as alternatives.

Boeing has increased its activity in Poland following a $10 billion contract to supply 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters to the country.
