Delivery of advanced aircraft scheduled for early 2027
The Polish army will receive US-made MQ-9B Reaper SkyGuardian combat drones. National Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz highlighted this information during a working visit to the air base in Mysławiec. According to him, the expected delivery date for these systems is January 2027.
Technical specifications and flight duration
The new aircraft will become the largest combat drones in the history of the Polish armed forces. The MQ-9B has a wingspan of 24 metres. A key advantage of these machines is their autonomy: they are capable of staying airborne for up to 40 hours without the need for refuelling.
Infrastructure preparation
The agreement for the purchase of these unmanned aerial vehicles was signed in 2024. Currently, the preparation of the necessary infrastructure at the Mysławiec air base has been completed. Specialised hangars and ancillary facilities have been built to receive and operate the new machines.
