In today's update on Poland buying everything under the sun....

22 x AW101 in troop carrying configuration...

2 x A330 MRTT....this appears to be seperate from the Multinational Fleet...

2 Additional Squadrons of multi-role combat aircraft (could be F-35, F-16 or ...see Typhoons presentation slides later...).

2 x Saab 340 Erieye AEW...presumably these are on loan from Sweden to prepare Poland for GlobalEye...

And of course the Saab GlobalEye order, which will be at least 2 aircraft...

Presentation from Polish Air Force General....full thread with slides....photos aren't great but timelines and detail can be seen...

The joint UK/Poland Future Common Missile was also on a slide but has been removed from the collection..

Just to note, there seems to be some confusion on the Saab Erieye....the Swedish won't be getting their GlobalEye until 2027 so people are doubtful its from there...or if its even a loan...(can't imagine Poland would buy the 340 Erieye instead of GlobalEye as the advantages from the Bizjet platform in terms of range and altitude are huge).

EDIT - Tony Osborne points out that the UAE may have 2 going spare now they're receiving GlobalEye...

In regards to the GlobalEye, how does it compare to the E-7?
these seem to be the only two western AWACS in production, alongside the E-2.

could not find any specific data other than the basic things such as the GlobalEye being smaller, likely more cheaper to operate, and potentially less range. Also has 5 less crew?

You could add in the Israeli Gulfstream G550 based Eitam as well. In service with Israel, Italy, Singapore, Morocco and the US Navy (for range control work).
