Alenia's M-346 passes Polish Air Force tests

摘要

The Polish Ministry of Defence announced on 10 February that the Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master advanced jet trainer has formally passed all of its test criteria and has duly been selected as Poland's new advanced jet trainer (AJT). A contract for eight AJTs with a comprehensive training package (plus an option for four more aircraft) is now expected later this month. The Italian-made aircraft will replace Poland's obsolete TS-11 Iskra jet trainers from 2016-17.
