The United States has agreed to provide Poland with a $3 billion loan to purchase US helicopters under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.
What do you know?
This is the third FMF loan to Poland in a year, totaling more than $7 billion. The latest loan will be used to purchase AH-64 Apache attack helicopters from US manufacturer Boeing.
In August this year, Poland signed a deal to buy 96 Apaches worth $10 billion. Delivery will take place between 2028 and 2032. Earlier loans of $2 billion were approved in September 2023 and July 2024.
It should be noted that the FMF mechanism was created to finance military equipment for Washington's key partners.
After invading Ukraine in February 2022, Warsaw ordered multibillion-dollar defense bases, including the U.S. These include F-35s, Patriot air defense systems and Abrams main battle tanks.
In fiscal year 2023, the United States has recorded $80.9 billion in foreign military sales (FMS), a 55.9 percent increase over the previous year.
