Slovak Foreign Minister Rastislav Kačer said his country remained ready to send its long-promised MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, and preparations are to begin in the “coming weeks.”

In an interview published by Interfax Ukraine on Dec. 12, Kačer said that the Soviet-made jets have not been delivered to Ukraine yet, but Slovakia is “talking with NATO partners about how to do it.”

“I am very optimistic about this I think this will happen soon, and the planes will be in Ukraine,” Kačer said, as quoted by Interfax.

Kačer added that a Ukrainian delegation is set to come for a U.S.-involved meeting in “coming weeks” to “make this a reality.”

US said no to this before when Poland wanted to do it

1. If Slovakia ok's the sale, then that opens the door for Poland to sell it's mig's to Ukraine..

Then the US military industrial complex could cut a deal for a bunch of F-16/F-15 for a good price.. Or Saab?
A thought...

2. Saab Gripen is probably better than any US jet

US jets operate from very clean, very stable airbases that are clear of debris. F16s have an issue with hydrazine, a hazardous substance, that requires training on how to handle the release thereof.

3. I agree. The Gripen is more suited to that environment.. Any old highway is a landing strip..nt

4. Just send 'em in pieces. Who's gonna know?

Now if a few F-15s showed up THAT would be hard to hide
