Polish Air Force prepares to take delivery of M-346 trainer

In November 2017 we saw the Polish Air Force take delivery of the first of eight M-346 Master lead-in fighter trainer aircraft from Leonardo-Finmeccanica, marking what was one of the early landmarks in a run of new military flight training investment within Central and Eastern Europe. Electromagnetic testing has taken place within an anechoic chamber and a phase of experimental and certification flights is beginning. And in September 2017, a second Polish M-346 carried out a flight to test the jet’s braking parachute among other capabilities.

The M-346 has already been adopted in Israel and Italy, and feedback from these nations is proving valuable. In this feature article, Defence IQ explores these experiences and why this development in Poland is ushering in a new wave of regional investment into the flight training market.
