Air force considers acquisition of new US jet fighter plane after 2015

US company Lockheed Martin yesterday presented a new fighter plane X-35 JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) to representatives of the Polish Air Force. The new models are likely to be used in the USA in 2008, and in allied countries in 2012. The price of each plane is $30-35 million, whereas the whole program relating to the building of these planes is estimated to cost around $250 billion. The Polish government has shown interest in adding the new plane to its service after 2015. (Rzeczpospolita p. A9, Prawo i Gospodarka p. 4) A.K.
