The United States will station F-16 jet fighters and Hercules transport planes in Poland as of 2013, announced Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich.
Klich said Poland has decided to accept an US offer for the rotating stationing of F-16s and Hercules planes on its territory, reported BGNES citing radio TOK FM.
The US planes will be taking part in joint drills together with the Polish Air Force, and will be returning to the US.
According to Klich, the presence of the US military planes in Poland will be similar to the stationing of the American Patriot missiles that were placed on Polish territory earlier in 2010.
Poland, which is traditionally seeking ways to balance its location between Russia and Germany, has drown even closer to the United States with respect to defense coopeartion.
Doesn't look like Spangdahlem movements will be severely affected...
