A Mielec, Poland-headquartered business arm of Lockheed Martin has joined the global F-16 program as a manufacturer of major components and assemblies for the upcoming Block 70/72 of the fighter aircraft.

The Polish company’s services will help address orders for the latest generation of F-16s from five customers around the world.
