Poland delays fighter purchase

Article Abstract:

Poland has decided to delay a proposed procurement of a modern multi-purpose fighter aircraft for its Air Force until after 2000. However, Polish Defense Minister Janusz Onyskiewicz said the assessment of different solutions of offer will continue so a decision could be quickly made as soon as overall economy situation allows. The Polish Air Force has a requirement for as much as 100 multi-purpose fighters to replace its ageing fleet of MiG-23s, MiG 21 Bis and Su-20s. Poland's fighter procurement programme was originally tentatively expected to run in parallel with the nation joining NATO.
