“Poland submitted a letter of intent today requesting permission to buy 500 HIMARS systems.”
According to Lockheed, only 540 systems have been built to date.
Can Poland AFFORD 500 systems?
The US Army doesn’t even have 500.
About $2.5 billion, although a large contract might drive the unit costs down. Poland has the lowest debt to GDP ratio of any EU member, and has enjoyed 26 years of uninterrupted GDP growth. So, yes, they can afford it.
