This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland Cezary Tomczyk, RMF24 reports.
He clarified that it is about 6-8 planes out of 14 MiGs that are in Poland. Tomchyk emphasized that Poland will receive Ukrainian unmanned technologies in return. According to him, the transfer of aircraft to Ukraine will not affect the country’s defense capability.
“These planes are leaving the Polish army at the end of December. They could end up in a museum, be sold or scrapped, or they could end up in Ukraine and help destroy our enemies. In my opinion, the situation seems pretty obvious,” Tomczyk said.
But the final decision on the transfer has not yet been made. This topic, in particular, will be discussed during the visit of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi to Warsaw, which is scheduled for Friday, December 19.
