Poland’s Name Appears in U.S. F-15EX Deal, Warsaw Denies Procurement Plans

Boeing received a federal contract with a ceiling value of $131.2 billion for the F-15 program, specifically F-15 Eagle Crest work based in St. Louis. While the deal is confirmed by U.S. government and industry sources, Poland has denied plans to procure the aircraft despite its name appearing in connection with the deal. The contract represents a massive financial injection for Boeing's defense operations. It remains unclear why Poland was linked to the agreement if the Polish government is not pursuing the purchase.
