Poland could deliver the remaining MiG-29 fighter jets<\/strong> from its arsenal to Ukraine before the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This opinion was expressed by Janusz Onyszkiewicz<\/strong>, former Polish Minister of National Defense, in a comment to Ukrinform<\/a><\/em>, in the context of Germany deploying fighter jets to Poland to patrol its airspace and NATO\u2019s eastern flank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe matter of transferring these MiGs should be finalized. I believe it will happen this year,\u201d Onyszkiewicz said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that these jets are urgently needed in Ukraine<\/strong> to intercept Russian cruise missiles and drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onyszkiewicz noted that this is not the first time NATO aircraft<\/strong> have been stationed or operated from Polish territory. Until recently, British and French fighter jets<\/strong> were also deployed in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported, five Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoons<\/strong> of the German Air Force will soon be stationed in Poland to patrol NATO’s eastern airspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs<\/strong> told Ukrinform<\/em> that Poland would hand over the rest of its MiG-29s to Ukraine once replacements from allies are received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland\u2019s acting charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires in Ukraine, Piotr \u0141ukasiewicz<\/strong>, also said in an interview that the transfer would happen once Poland \u201cfills the gap\u201d created by giving away these jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland already delivered a number of MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine in 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Polish Presidential Chancellery<\/strong>, Poland has provided Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees with the world\u2019s highest level of aid relative to GDP<\/strong> \u2013 nearly 5% of its own GDP<\/strong>. Military aid has included 320 tanks<\/strong>, 250 infantry fighting vehicles<\/strong>, and 14 MiG-29 jets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
