Lockheed Martin rolled out the first of 32 F-35 fighters for the Polish Air Force at its Fort Worth, Texas facility.

Lockheed Martin presented the first F-35A Lightning II fighter for the Polish Air Force during an event at its factory in Fort Worth, Texas. The NATO member has 32 of the warplanes on order as it bolsters its defense capability in the face of Russian aggression in Eastern Europe.

The Polish F-35s have been named Husarz to pay homage to the country’s famous cavalry regiment. The first of the fighters will be delivered in December and will be based initially at the Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Arkansas, where Polish pilots will receive training.
