Embraer is proposing its KC-390 tactical transport and tanker for the Polish Air Force, while also exploring Poland as a potential European assembly hub. The Brazilian aerospace company sees Poland as a key strategic partner, with plans that could generate $1 billion in value and 600 jobs. Embraer Defense & Security CCO Frederico Lemos emphasized that Poland is “more than a customer, but a long-term operational and industrial partner.” Poland currently operates four Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules transports and has a growing need for additional transport and refueling capabilities. The proposal aligns with Poland’s push to expand its defense industry and strengthen military capabilities.
