Boeing Proposes F-15EX Sale to Poland
Boeing has proposed selling 32 F-15EX Eagle II fighters to Poland, offering the jets alongside Ghost Bat drone integration and expanded local industry work.
Boeing’s pitch centres on the F-15EX Eagle II, a modernized version of the long‑running F-15 family that the company says delivers high payload, range and upgrade flexibility. The proposal includes integrating the Ghost Bat unmanned aircraft and a package of industrial cooperation with Polish defence firms to support sustainment, training and local jobs.
Why the F-15EX matters for Poland
Poland is actively modernizing its air force amid regional security concerns and to strengthen NATO interoperability. The F-15EX is positioned by Boeing as one of the most capable Western fighters available today, with room for advanced sensors, large weapon loads and future systems integration — factors that appeal to air forces looking for near‑term capability boosts without waiting for next‑generation platforms.
The offer’s industrial component aims to deepen US‑Polish defence ties by offering workshare opportunities for Polish suppliers, plus training and maintenance support. Boeing’s approach mirrors recent Western defence sales that bundle hardware with local industry participation to improve sustainment and political acceptability.
- Platform: F-15EX Eagle II fighter (32 aircraft proposed)
- Unmanned integration: Ghost Bat drone pairing and sensor/weapon coordination
- Industrial offer: expanded cooperation with Polish defence firms, sustainment and training
Operationally, adding F-15EX jets would expand Poland’s air combat footprint: larger weapons bays and payload capacity give commanders more flexibility for air defence, interdiction and deterrence missions. The Ghost Bat drone integration hints at growing interest in manned‑unmanned teaming for surveillance and stand‑in effects.
Neither Boeing nor Polish officials have published a formal contract or timetable in the material provided here, so procurement, financing and formal approval processes remain to be completed. Still, the proposal signals continued momentum in Poland’s multi‑year effort to modernize its air fleet and shore up NATO interoperability.
