Poland officially cemented a $310 million agreement with General Atomics for MQ-9B SkyGuardian drones on December 12, marking its first direct purchase of this advanced unmanned aerial system. This significant acquisition, signed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense W?adys?aw Kosiniak-Kamysz, builds on Poland’s prior engagement with similar technology, as the nation has been operating MQ-9A Reapers since February 2023 under a $70.6 million lease deal. This progression clearly underscores Poland’s increasing investment and commitment to bolstering its advanced unmanned aerial capabilities.
