The order placed Warsaw alongside Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and the UK in the Lightning II club. Pilots have been training at Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Arkansas; the first Polish F-35As rolled off the Fort Worth line in 2024, but the fleet stayed in the United States until enough crews, technicians and infrastructure existed at \u0141ask to support a permanent forward base.<\/p>\n\n<p>That infrastructure took a multi-year construction programme of its own, completed in November 2025 &mdash; new shelters, secure data links, weapons-storage upgrades, and the kind of long, hardened runway the F-35 demands. \u0141ask was the obvious site: central Polish geography, NATO-grade infrastructure already in place from the F-16 fleet, and just a short hop from the Suwa\u0142ki Gap.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Polish Air Force has had a Cold-War-era backbone of MiG-29 Fulcrums and Su-22s for longer than it should have. A number of the surviving MiG-29s ended up donated to Ukraine in 2023. That left a coverage gap that F-16s alone couldn&rsquo;t fill, and that nobody in Warsaw was prepared to bridge with another Russian-spec airframe.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=896741510  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/lask-air-base-poland-32nd-tactical-air-base.jpg\" alt=\"Polish airman on the \u0141ask flight line\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">\u0141ask Air Base in central Poland has hosted Polish F-16s and U.S. detachments for over a decade. From now on, it is also the home of the Husarz fleet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why the location matters<\/h2>\n\n<p>\u0141ask sits roughly 300 km from both the Belarusian border and Russia&rsquo;s Kaliningrad exclave. That distance is deliberate. Polish doctrine prefers a strategic-depth posture for high-value assets, keeping fifth-generation jets far enough from the border that they can&rsquo;t be hit by short-range cruise missiles in the opening minutes of a crisis. The forward-deployed F-16 squadrons at Krzesiny and Pozna\u0144 do the visible NATO air-policing; the \u0141ask F-35s are the strike reserve.<\/p>\n\n<p>That posture is rapidly becoming a NATO standard. Norway and the Netherlands have done the same. The UK keeps its F-35Bs at Marham, well inland. The pattern is consistent: forward sensors, rear platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;This is an important milestone that truly changes the operational capabilities of the entire Polish Armed Forces. It also changes the security of the whole region.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz<\/strong> &mdash; Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, 22 May 2026<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What the Husarz brings to NATO&rsquo;s eastern flank<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Polish F-35As are standard Block 4-capable airframes, configured for Joint Strike Missile, AIM-9X, AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM, GBU-39 SDB and the full sensor-fusion package. They are interoperable from day one with the 220-odd F-35As already in European service &mdash; Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Belgian, British (F-35B), Finnish, and increasingly Germany&rsquo;s growing fleet.<\/p>\n\n<p>What changes with the Polish arrival is mass. Adding 32 more Block 4 jets to NATO&rsquo;s European stealth pool gets the alliance closer to a number where, in a serious scenario, no single national tasking outpaces the platform&rsquo;s availability. F-35 fleet planning has been a constant headache; another 32 airframes east of the Oder is the kind of structural fix the alliance has been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n<p>The remaining 29 Husarz aircraft will arrive in batches through 2030. A second F-35 base is already being prepared at \u015awidwin. By the end of the decade, Poland will operate the largest fifth-generation fleet on NATO&rsquo;s eastern flank &mdash; parked exactly where Moscow least wants it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HPvNIcYVMSA\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#888;font-style:italic;margin-top:24px\">Sources: The Aviationist, Polish Ministry of National Defence press release (22 May 2026), Lockheed Martin, Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Related Posts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/poland-wants-in-on-the-worlds-most-secret-fighter-jet\/\">Poland Wants In on the World&rsquo;s Most Secret Fighter Jet<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/polands-m28-skytruck-becomes-a-drone-hunter\/\">Poland&rsquo;s M28 Skytruck Becomes a Drone Hunter<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first three F-35As in Polish service &mdash; Poland calls them Husarz, the Hussar, after the winged cavalry that once broke Ottoman charges &mdash; touched down at \u0141ask Air Base on 22 May 2026.
