Poland has agreed to hand over all of its MIG-29 fighter jets to a US airbase “immediately and free of charge” as part of a plan to provide aircraft to the Ukrainians.
“The MIG-29 is not the best aircraft around at the moment but it’s better than nothing. “NATO has been giving arms openly to Ukraine – this is just another type of weapon.” He said that with Poland handing the jets to the US at their German base, it is like Poland saying to Russia “if you want an argument about this, have it with Washington, don’t have it with us”. And he added: “The main thing is for Ukrainian pilots to find a safe way to take the aircraft into Ukraine.”
NN: This is a devolving story…… More details to follow. If their are sufficient number, based outside Ukraine, properly armed it could be a game changer
