Poland offers MiG-29 fighters for Ukrainian technology
Ukraine and Poland are negotiating the transfer of Polish MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine's Defense Forces, according to the Polish General Staff.
Officials there said the jets could be handed over due to the end of their service life and lack of prospects for further modernization. However, no final decision has been made on the transfer.
At the same time, Kyiv and Warsaw are discussing providing Poland with certain Ukrainian drone and missile technologies.
"The goal is not only to compensate Poland for the loss of equipment but, above all, to acquire and jointly develop new defense and industrial competencies," the General Staff said.
In July 2024, Poland said it was ready to transfer its MiG-29s to Ukraine on the condition that the country receives modern Western aircraft from allies in return.
However, in August it was reported that Kyiv had not received a positive decision on the jets, although the issue was raised. At the same time, Warsaw assured that it would transfer the MiG-29s once it fills its own gaps.
