Aviation News – Poland has finalized a $500 million contract to procure AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM missiles, securing advanced air-to-air capabilities for the country’s incoming F-35A Husarz fighter fleet.

The agreement, signed by Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, follows the U.S. Foreign Military Sale authorization granted in April 2025 for up to 400 of the latest-generation missiles. The acquisition marks another step in Poland’s broader modernization program as it strengthens deterrence and interoperability with NATO partners.

The AIM-120D-3 is the most modern variant of the AMRAAM family, designed to engage airborne threats at long range with improved guidance, resilience, and target-tracking. Integrated with the F-35’s advanced sensors, the missile significantly enhances the aircraft’s operational reach and effectiveness in contested airspace.
