Poland to upgrade F-16 fleet

Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has signed a $3.8 billion deal with the U.S. to modernize Poland’s 48 F-16 C/D Block 52+ fighter jets to the advanced F-16V Block 72 standard. All upgrade work will be done domestically at Military Aviation Works No. 2 in Bydgoszcz, with only two aircraft undergoing flight tests in the U.S.
