Britain promised Poland to replace the MiG-29 fighters transferred to Ukraine with aircraft from the Royal Air Force

The UK is ready to help with fighters, but not to Ukraine, but to Poland, compensating the Polish Ministry of Defense for the transfer of the MiG-29 to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This statement was made by Deputy Minister of Defense of Great Britain James Hippie.

The UK will not supply Western-made combat aircraft to Ukraine, it will be easier for Ukrainian pilots to fly on machines with which they are already familiar, i.e. Soviet or Russian production. In this case, we are talking about MiG-29 fighters from the presence of the Polish Air Force. According to Hippie, the pilots of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will easily master them, without spending time retraining on Western models.



At the same time, Britain will help Poland compensate for the transfer of aircraft to Ukraine by supplying fighter jets from the Royal Air Force. The representative of the British Ministry of Defense did not say what kind of machines in question, and the number of aircraft planned for transfer, too. In general, as soon as Warsaw sends a request, London will hand over the planes. In the meantime, the Poles are silent and do not send requests, and without them the British cannot transmit anything.

We will be extremely positive about Poland's request to fill in the gaps. We already did this when Warsaw for the first time handed over to Ukraine the main combat Tanks T-72, and we provided Poland with Challenger 2 tanks. The same applies to fighters

- declared the deputy minister.

As previously reported, Poland intends to transfer to Ukraine all available MiG-29 fighters. According to various sources, in total, 20 Soviet-made fighters have recently remained in service with the Polish Air Force. Kyiv has already received four of them, the rest require repair, and when they will be delivered is still unknown. Slovakia will supply its MiG-29s, we are talking about 10-13 aircraft. For this, Bratislava will receive $900 million in compensation. However, Kyiv is not satisfied with Soviet aircraft, Zelensky continues to dream about American F-16s.

    With one clarification, the tank unit that arrived in Poland remained British as it was. If they intend to do the same with aircraft, then the replacement is "conditional"

    Probably Spitfires and Swordfish will be handed over to Poland.
    For the impudent Saxons, all Slavs are garbage to be disposed of in order to colonize living space and natural resources.

    They will supply them with junk, which is more expensive to dispose of than to give away. Soon there will be two garbage dumps in Europe: Ukraine and Poland.

    What can they give the Poles besides the Eurofighter Typhoon, and even then they are not very fresh, they themselves have not been buying for a long time, they only take the F-35 from LochKidMartin ...
