US EditionUS approves $1.33bn air-to-air missile sale to Poland
- The U.S. State Department approved a $1.33 billion sale of 400 AIM-120D3 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles to Poland on April 29, 2025.
- Poland requested the sale to enhance its air defense amid rising regional threats following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and ongoing hybrid challenges in Eastern Europe.
- The sale includes guidance units, encryption devices, support equipment, spares, and logistical services to integrate the missiles with Poland's current F-16 fleet and future F-35A jets.
- The DSCA noted that the sale will enhance Poland’s ability to address both present and emerging threats, bolster NATO’s defense posture on its eastern border, and will not compromise U.S. military readiness or upset the regional strategic balance.
- If Congress gives its approval, deliveries could begin by 2026, supporting Poland’s ongoing military upgrades and strengthening the defense relationship between the United States and Poland.
