Warsaw seeks technology exchange as it phases out legacy fighters and deepens defense collaboration with Kyiv

Older-generation aircraft would be in exchange for sending 12,000 troops to the frontline of the war with Ukraine

Aircraft were inherited from East Germany and operated by the Luftwaffe after unification. In 2022, 23 of them made their way to the Polish Air Force

Country retired 11 fighters last year and will send those that are operational and the others as spare parts

Four aircraft will be delivered in the next few days, according to the country's president, Andrzej Duda

The US government acknowledged that the weapon was adapted to the fighter of Russian origin

Countries that support Ukrainians against the Russian invasion would have sent parts of MiG-29 fighter jets, among others, to expand their active fleet

NATO member country confirmed its intention to transfer about 23 fighter jets, however, the US Department of Defense considered the plan unfeasible

The Polish, Bulgarian and Slovakian air forces have around 60 fighter jets similar to those used by the Ukrainians
