Poland isn't going to allow themselves to be in the position of horse mounted cavalry going against armor again.
While I am a proud Pollack (and former cav trooper) and used to speak of the Charge at Krojanty with pride (horse vs tank), it's actually a misunderstanding.
The horse cav charged elements of a German infantry battalion. Nazi armored cars drove them off but they still bought enough time for Polish troops to withdraw.
So, still brave and a little crazy...like all of us Poles; but they didn't technically charge any armor elements.
Anyways, Poland had no choice really.

The F-35 has capabilities and performance on its side, while the Su-35 is easier to maintain, cheaper to operate, and can have a larger fleet for the same money.
