Poland seeks expanded defense ties with Philippines after Black Hawk deal

Poland's delivery of Black Hawk helicopters to the Philippines marks its entry into Manila's defense market, with Warsaw now pursuing broader partnerships in drones, air defense, and potential co-production. The move reflects Poland's growing defense industry and its push to expand exports, backed by a $50 billion investment. This development signals a deepening of defense cooperation between a European NATO member and a Southeast Asian nation, potentially reshaping regional defense supply chains.
