NATO-member Poland has requested 96 of the Apache attack helicopters and related equipment, including 1,844 Hellfire missiles and 508 Stinger missiles, the Pentagon said.
Poland has made boosting its military a priority following Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

The Pentagon said Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) are the prime contractors for the weapons.
