According to the Polish expert community, the purchase of fighters at $ 144 million apiece would be justified if this amount included the aircraft’s armament. But, according to the Military Review, the United States supplies combat aircraft “empty”, demanding an additional fee for missile equipment.

It is worth noting, however, that the amount that the Polish authorities pay to the American partners, the latter conduct a training course and the supply of simulators. At the same time, the Polish Ministry of Defense has already stated that the fighters will allow “to bring the country’s air force to a completely new level.”
