29-04-2024
Following a public competition to choose the name of its future F-35A Joint Strike Fighters, Poland has revealed that these aircraft will be locally known as Husarz, or hussars. This name pays homage to a very specific cavalry unit from the country's military past.
The winning name was announced earlier today by the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces.
