The US planes will take part in joint drills with the Polish Air Force before returning to the US.
The deployment of the US military planes in Poland is similar to the stationing of American Patriot missiles on Polish territory in the beginning of 2010.
The minister also said that Poland and the three Baltic states would host an exercise of the Nato Response Force (NRF) in 2013, according to novinite.com.
