Przydacz said that according to “my information,” “this process has already been completed.” «That is, the transmission of this first part. Obviously there will be talks about a possible further support.’ Incidentally, he didn’t specify how many jets were transferred. Last month, the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, said Warsaw would deliver the first four MiG-29s to Ukraine.
Duda then said: “We still have a dozen more [vliegtuigen]. We got them from the East German army in the early 90s. These are the last years of their business based on their technical capabilities, but they are still functional.’
Kiev has urged its allies to supply fighter jets to defend its airspace and more effectively fight Russian forces on its territory. So far only Poland and Slovakia, which have approved the transfer of 13 MiG-29 jets, have responded to that appeal.
