Poland will be able to purchase almost a hundred Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters. The deal was approved by the US Congress.
What is known
In late August, the US State Department approved the potential sale of 96 Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopters, engines, equipment and ammunition to Poland. About two weeks later, the deal was approved by the US Congress. This was reported by Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak (Mariusz Błaszczak).
The head of the defense department did not elaborate on the details of the deal. At the same time, the website of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) indicated that Poland had requested the purchase of missiles and equipment to create smart bombs:
7650 WGU-59/B APKWS-II; 508 Stinger 92K Block I; 460 AGM-179A Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM); 96 M36E8 Hellfire (training missiles); 1844 AGM-114R2 Hellfire.
Also, the European country ordered dozens of radars, 210 T700-GE-701D power plants and related equipment. The potential sale amounted to $12 billion, but it is not yet clear if the US Congress has made any changes to the deals.
