For the first time, Poles were able to see the most advanced fighter jets, which in the coming years will become one of the pillars of the country's military aviation.

Three fifth-generation F-35 aircraft, nicknamed "Husarz," performed a ceremonial flypast over Poland’s largest cities as part of the "Welcome to Poland" operation.

The event preceded the official ceremony to induct the jets into the Polish Armed Forces at the 32nd Tactical Air Base in Łask.

The fighters took off in the morning from the base in Łask and began their demonstration flight, intended to give residents a chance to see the Polish army’s new hardware up close.
