Poland provides 10 MiG-29 jets to Ukraine

Poland has sent over 10 MiG-29 jets to Ukraine, Poland’s Defence Minister Mariusz Błaszczak says, as per Defence24.

Polish President Andrzej Duda previously promised that Poland would supply Ukraine with 14 MiG-29 aircraft.

At the beginning of April, Poland provided several MiG-29 jets to Ukraine. Mid-March, Duda promised to send four MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine in the coming days. “We can say for certain that we are sending these MiGs to Ukraine. Now we still have a dozen of these [aircraft]. We got them in the early 1990s from the East German army. These are the last years of their operation in accordance with their technical capabilities,” Duda explained.

Furthermore, the government of Slovakia approved the transfer of 13 MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine.
