WASHINGTON — The US State Department has signed off on a potential $12 billion sale of military equipment to Poland, including 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and other military equipment.

The announcement, posted on the website Defense Security Cooperation Agency today, does not represent a final sale. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases announced like these have been approved by the executive branch for review by Congress; Should the Hill not object, the quantities and dollar values in the deals can change during negotiations with industry.

“In 2022, Poland announced plans to acquire the AH-64E Apache attack helicopters after Boeing won its Kruk effort, and that instead of 32 helicopters for two squadrons as expected, Poland was interested in 96 helicopters — six squadrons worth.”

MIC Cha-ching! After the war is continued, the Poles decide to buy Apaches. Now they’ve decided to triple the number. We have been blundered into a new multi trillion dollar, generational cold war.

Good news for Sikorsky Aircraft division/unit of Lockheed Martin (maker of the Apache).

“After the war is continued”

“We have been blundered into”

Interesting English.

Cool! Apaches, Abrams, HIMARS, patriots and F-35 from the states. Leopards from Germany. k-9 mobile artillery from South Korea. NBPWP Borsuk IFV from Poland.
Though it will take a few years they are really ramping their power score.

It’s a dialect your posts are unfamiliar with. It’s called the truth.

******************

Money can be made with our current neocon foreign policy stupidity in three ways.

1) Preparing for a pre planned war for the ruling international establishment.(Military build up)

2) Going to war with historic Great Power Nations and the financial & emotional chaos that ensues.

3) Signing peace deals and financing Reconstruction of small countries that get hammered after the Big War is over.

Rincing & Repeating the same narrative, with different countries serving as the enemy, is how these corrupt bastards operate.

Sikorsky builds the UH-60 Blackhawk, Boeing builds the AH-64 Apache.

We are starting to phase out AH-64 to be replaced by what comes out of the Future Vertical Lift program.
