Poland wants to acquire MQ-9 Reaper drones from the US in the immediate future, with plans to buy more at a later date, as security fears grow three weeks after Russia invaded its neighbor Ukraine. While the initial drones will be bought under a fast-track mechanism, Platek told Reuters that Poland was also working on the Zefir program, which involves negotiating the acquisition of MALE-class unmanned aerial vehicles. He wouldn’t say which drones may be purchased. Poland anticipates receiving its first drones before the end of the year. The government did not say how much the potential purchase would cost.
