WARSAW\u2013<\/strong> Boeing<\/a> has expanded its offer to the Polish Ministry of National Defense (MND) by pairing the advanced F-15EX Eagle II fighter jet with the MQ-28 Ghost Bat drone and an industrial cooperation package aimed at strengthening Poland\u2019s defense sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal, revealed during Boeing\u2019s recent presentation in Warsaw, underscores the aerospace giant\u2019s renewed push to secure a deal after two years of discussions and to deepen defense collaboration with Polish firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing Push to Secure Polish F-15 Fighter Jet Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boeing\u2019s latest offer marks a calculated move to revive interest in the F-15EX program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First introduced to Poland<\/a> at the MSPO International Defense Industry Exposition in 2023, the aircraft is now being pitched with a loyal-wingman component \u2014 the MQ-28 Ghost Bat \u2014 to enhance interoperability and combat flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Flood, Boeing\u2019s senior director for Global Business Development in Europe and the Americas, had earlier emphasized that the F-15EX aligns with Poland\u2019s defense modernization goals by combining affordability, operational readiness, and support for domestic industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Warsaw evaluating options for 32 new fighters<\/strong>, Boeing\u2019s updated proposal directly responds to Poland\u2019s strategic emphasis on airpower resilience and industrial independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MQ-28 Ghost Bat, designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare, and strike missions, offers an AI-driven, stealth-capable partner for the F-15EX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating as a \u201cloyal wingman,\u201d it can extend sensor coverage and enhance survivability, supporting manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) missions that align with Poland\u2019s \u201caffordable mass\u201d airpower model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrial Cooperation and Local Partnerships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boeing\u2019s plan includes extensive collaboration with the Polish defense industry. Marissa Myers, Boeing\u2019s senior business development manager, confirmed that the company is seeking partners across manufacturing, R&D, and maintenance sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) have already been signed with Polish firms and universities, including an agreement between GE Aerospace and Poland\u2019s WZL-2 for potential local maintenance of the F110-GE-129 engine that powers the F-15EX<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This industrial cooperation framework mirrors Boeing\u2019s approach in Indonesia, where the company pledged up to 85% local production for its F-15EX offer. While the exact percentage for Poland remains undisclosed, the intent is clear: to position Polish companies as active participants in sustaining and supporting advanced fighter platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland\u2019s Expanding Airpower Ambitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Poland has accelerated its military modernization, aiming to expand its fighter fleet to 160 aircraft across 10 squadrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country has already ordered 48 FA-50 light fighters from South Korea\u2019s KAI and plans to upgrade its existing F-16C\/D Block 52+ fleet to the F-16V standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The F-15EX, capable of carrying a 30,000-pound payload including up to 12 AMRAAM missiles, would complement Poland\u2019s incoming F-35A<\/a> fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the F-35 excels in stealth penetration missions, the F-15EX provides the payload capacity and range needed for sustained strikes, making the two platforms strategically complementary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capabilities and Combat Edge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The twin-seat F-15EX Eagle II is equipped with the APG-82 AESA radar, EPAWSS electronic warfare suite, and digital fly-by-wire controls. With a combat radius exceeding 1,000 kilometers and a top speed of Mach 2.5, it can project power across Eastern Europe and the Baltic region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When paired with the MQ-28 Ghost Bat, the aircraft gains an additional layer of operational flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ghost Bat can act as a decoy, sensor extender, or strike drone, controlled by the F-15EX crew via secure data links. This manned-unmanned integration significantly enhances mission survivability and situational awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening Ties with Poland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boeing\u2019s long-standing relationship with Poland forms the backdrop of this renewed proposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has been present in the country for over three decades and recently secured a $10 billion deal for 96 AH-64E Apache helicopters<\/a>, making Poland the largest Apache operator outside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Boeing has offered the KC-46 tanker to support aerial refueling capabilities for Polish fighters \u2014 a key enabler for long-range missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether these expanding partnerships will translate into an F-15EX procurement remains uncertain, but they underscore Boeing\u2019s deepening footprint in Central Europe\u2019s defense landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
