"Poland is set to provide Ukraine with four MiG-29 fighter jets in the coming days, Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Thursday, becoming the first NATO country to do so.

Warsaw has taken a lead among NATO allies in supplying Kyiv with heavy weapons, including the Soviet-designed fighters. “When it comes to the MI-29 aircraft, which are still operating in the defense of Polish airspace, a decision has been taken at the highest levels, we can say confidently that we are sending MIGs to Ukraine,” Duda said.

“We have a dozen or so MIGS that we got in the 90s handed down from the German Democratic Republic and they are functional and play a part in the defense of our airspace. They are at the end of their operational life but are still functional,” Duda added.

I find it very strange that this is not kept from the Media and Joe Public, the NATO countries should not be releasing what they are providing to Ukraine.

"They are at the end of their operational life but are still functional,”


And that is why they are giving them up. Where will the Ukrainians get parts to service them with? Think Russia or China will provide them? How about the armament's for the aircraft?
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?

They have to last long enough to need parts

As long as the Ukrainians can avoid being rammed by a medal seeking Russian they should be ok.
