Poland sends first MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine

Poland completed the transfer of the first MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine.

"Several MiG-29s have already been delivered to Ukraine, they already help Ukraine to defend the country... According to my information, the process of handing over the first batch [of aircraft] has already been completed," Head of the International Policy Bureau at the Presidential Chancellery of the Republic of Poland Marcin Przydacz said on the air of RMF24 radio, Ukrinform reports.

He noted that during the official visit of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to Poland on April 5, "the Ukrainian side will ask for further support without a doubt."

According to Przydacz, Warsaw gives Kyiv post-Soviet MiG-29s, "which were supposed to be repaired in 2-3 years." Instead, Poland buys modern American F-35s and other modern equipment and weapons.
