En cuanto al contrato del F-35, esto puede ser de ayuda: parece que se dividió en dos partes

What was included in the polish order of f-35?
Poland’s $4.6 billion order finalized in 2020 included 32 F-35A Block 4 stealth fighters, 33 Pratt & Whitney F135 engines, and eight Full Mission Simulators. The comprehensive package also featured logistical support, Autonomic Logistics Information Systems (ALIS), specialized training for 24 pilots and 90 ground personnel, and unique aircraft modifications like drag chutes.The specific contents and provisions of the deal include:Aircraft: 32 F-35A Lightning II conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) stealth fighters, designated "Husarz" by the Polish Air Force.Engines: 33 Pratt & Whitney F135 engines (32 installed plus one spare).Training and Education: Comprehensive training programs to qualify 24 pilots (up to instructor level) and approximately 90 ground crew/maintainers, with early training conducted at U.S. facilities.Simulation and Ground Support: Eight Full Mission Simulators and specialized ground support equipment.Logistics and Support: Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) and global logistics support through 2030.National Modifications: The Polish jets were custom-fitted with drag chutes to safely land on icy or short runways, similar to variants used by the Norwegian Air Force.Modernization Upgrades: Inclusion of a modernization package allowing subsequent technological upgrades developed by Lockheed Martin to be seamlessly retrofitted onto the fleet.Detailed breakdowns of the contract are reported by Air & Space Forces Magazine and aviation analysis at The Aviationist.Would you like more information on the arrival schedule for these jets in Poland or details on the weapons packages that have been acquired for them?
Poland handles its F-35 spare parts through two distinct mechanisms: initial integration into the global spares pool via the 2020 baseline contract, and a massive $1.85 billion dedicated follow-on sustainment package approved in August 2025. Because F-35 spare parts are managed through a centralized, U.S.-controlled global logistical pool, Poland does not buy or store localized piles of parts outside of core consumables.The specific breakdown of what has been ordered and approved regarding Poland's F-35 spare parts includes:1. The Baseline 2020 Spares OrderOne Spare F135 Engine: The original $4.6 billion purchase included 33 Pratt & Whitney F135 engines—32 installed in the active jets and one designated as a complete whole-engine spare.Global Support Solution (GSS) Entry: Poland purchased initial entry into the global F-35 parts pooling system through 2030. Rather than buying dedicated batches of components, Poland's initial order funded access to the shared global supply chain managed by Lockheed Martin and the U.S. military.2. **The $1.85 Billion Sustainment and Spares Order (August 2025)**To support the operational arrival of the physical aircraft in Poland (which began arriving in May 2026), the U.S. State Department approved a massive follow-on Foreign Military Sale explicitly targeted at fleet reliability:Engine Component Improvement Program: Specialized spare engine modules, hardware, and minor/major component modification kits.Consumables and Accessories: High-wear replacement parts, fasteners, seals, and immediate flight-line consumables required for daily maintenance at Poland's tactical air bases.Repair and Return Support: Contracted pipeline funding that allows Polish maintenance crews to ship broken parts back to U.S. or regional depots (such as engine facilities in Norway or the Netherlands) to be swapped out for active components.Classified Software Packages: System software updates required to integrate new spare electronics, radar elements, and cyber-security systems into the jets' existing architecture.This multi-billion dollar framework ensures high operational availability rates as the "Husarz" fleet scales up to full strength through 2030. Detailed logistics overviews of this parts acquisition are hosted via the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency and defense analytics at The Defense Post.Would you like to explore how the F-35 global parts pool operates regarding custom ownership rules, or see how Poland's recent F-16 Viper upgrade program shares a similar parts framework?
