Poland has signed a contract for Saab 340 Erieye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft to protect its national airspace.
The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence of Poland, Mariusz Błaszczak, made the disclosure on 25 July, two months after announcing on 22 May that his country’s government was in the advanced stages of negotiations with Sweden to acquire such a capability.
“Today, the [Polish] Armaments Agency signed a contract for the supply of Swedish Saab 340 early warning aircraft. As a result, the eastern flank [of] NATO will be strengthened and Polish airspace becomes safer,” Błaszczak said.
