[US Announces $4 Billion Military Loan to Poland] US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas Dinanno announced on the 12th that the US will provide Poland with a $4 billion foreign military financing loan for the purchase of US-made military equipment. According to the Polish Press Agency, Dinanno announced the loan arrangement at an F-35 fighter jet delivery ceremony held at the Wask Air Base in Poland. In an interview, he said that this would increase the total amount of foreign military financing loans provided by the US to Poland to nearly $20 billion. Poland signed a contract in 2020 to purchase 32 US-made F-35 fighter jets, worth a total of $4.6 billion, with the aircraft scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2030. Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamesz announced on social media on May 22 that three F-35 fighter jets had arrived in Poland, marking the first batch of fifth-generation fighter jets to be officially stationed on NATO's eastern flank.
