The Polish government is saving on servicing the F-16

"Due to insufficient financial resources," the Polish military is giving up covering planes with a coating that makes them less visible to enemy radars.

Gazeta Polska obtained the document that the army sent to the military aviation plant (WZL2). In this letter dated February 4 this year, the head of the technical supervision team of military unit 3091 in Poznań (2nd Tactical Aviation Wing), Lt. Col. Tadeusz Foryszewski, informs the operational director of WZL2:

"Due to the allocation of insufficient funds for 2025 under the service agreement [here the agreement number - note. [ed.] At the moment, it is not possible to indicate approximate dates for painting F-16 aircraft planned for 2025. At the same time, I would like to inform you that the 2SLT technical supervision team has requested (...) to change the maintenance implementation plan (...) for 2025 by completely removing the aircraft scheduled for painting.

PN: It looks like the government is setting up Polish Air Force to fail in any encounter with Russian fighter jets. Brings back the memory of sabotage of President Kaczyński. Who is pro-Russian now?
