Yesterday, the Polish president Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk met with Joe Biden at the White House. The American president said that the United States is ready to sell Poland $12 billion worth of weapons, including 821 JASSM-ER missiles with a range of up to one thousand kilometers.
Later it became known that the State Department approved a plan to sell Poland 1700 missiles, including 821 missiles with a range of almost 1000 km, 745 medium-range missiles and 232 tactical short-range missiles.
The purchase of almost a hundred AH-64 Apache helicopters was also discussed. The purchase of so many Apache helicopters means that Poland will have the second largest fleet of such machines in the world, after the United States.
Joe Biden also intends to provide Poland with a loan of $2 billion for the purchase of American weapons.
Poland contributes 3.9% of its GDP to defense, almost twice the current NATO target of 2%, and the highest in percentage of GDP.
