⚡️ Poland to supply the U.S. with its entire stockpile of MIG-29 jets, free of charge.

The planes are then expected to be shipped to Ukraine.

The Polish government asked other NATO members to follow the country’s example.

1. YES, this is what has been desperately needed. Ukraine can go on offense.

[ColinC]

2. Supposedly Poland has 27 MiGs. Definitely a booster.

They really don't need that many to supplement their already robust air defenses. So just these will help a ton.

(And any more from other countries would also be amazing)

6. According to Janes, Poland has 31 active MiG 29s

8. Of course no telling how many active pilots Ukraine has left, they had 224 MiGs in 2014

Mostly old scrap planes, at least these are the updated models that hopefully carry NATO weapons, and ground crews to maintain them.

3. I'm guessing they have pilots?

[SoonerPride]

4. Yes Ukraine has pilots that can fly MIGs.

5. Yes!

Good news.

9. Good news but "free of charge" ought to be in quotes..

as they asked them to be replaced by US made jets, most likely used F-16's I'd guess.

10. Msnbc said that while poland has announced the donation

The details of the United States “ backfilling “ had not been worked out so this sounds like the same bs we have been hearing for over a week ( I hope I am wrong)
