Anduril pitches Fury and Thunder autonomous aircraft to accompany Poland's F-35 and Apache fleets
At the MSPO defense show in Kielce, Poland, U.S. defense-tech company Anduril Industries is pitching two autonomous aircraft to accompany Poland's future fleets of F-35 fighter jets and AH-64E Apache attack helicopters. Brian Moran, Anduril's vice president for Europe, stated that the Fury autonomous combat aircraft is 'tailor-made to partner with an F-35 as a loyal wingman,' while the Thunder autonomous attack rotorcraft is designed as a collaborative platform for the Apache. This pitch comes alongside Anduril's partnership with Polish state-owned defense group PGZ for local assembly of the Barracuda-500M cruise missile. Poland is acquiring 32 F-35 jets, with the first delivered in May 2026, and 96 Apache helicopters, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2028. A successful deal would make Poland the first European user of these Anduril drones.
