Poland Supplies MiG29s to Ukraine
Polish Foreign Ministry ^ | 03/08/2022 | Polish Foreign Ministry

Posted on 03/08/2022 11:10:58 AM PST by pierrem15

The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Goverment, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.

At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes.

The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.

I have no doubt whatever decision they make it’ll be the complete opposite of what should be done and make things 100 times worse.

With their forces concentrated and sitting ducks in Ukraine, Russia can’t afford to bring the US and NATO into this.

So Ukraine will get their planes.

At least a more complicated proxy war.

"Domestic and US pressure made this inevitable. Wonder what deal the Poles got."

For one, they exercised a UOR purchase of MQ-9s.

Alarmed by Events in Ukraine, Poland Opts for Accelerated MQ-9 Reaper Purchase

"With war raging in Ukraine, the Polish government is readying a procurement of an undisclosed number of MQ-9 Reaper medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) drones. The MQ-9 Reaper is capable of conducting both reconnaissance and combat missions and is generally armed with HELLFIRE missiles or GBU-12 Paveway bombs.

The Reaper purchase is reportedly an urgent operational requirement (UOR) and therefore may possibly be outside of the Polish Air Force’s Zefir MALE UAV procurement project.

Russia invades Ukraine = Leave me out of it.

IF Russia invaded Poland? Then I would care.

Now with this turn of events? Bleep Poland. They’re trying to trick the US into being a first hand combatant in the Russian/Ukraine War?

Hell no.

Send their migs back to Poland. Now.

Since the nukes are probably preprogramed to hit NATO countries, think not.

Now what? Will the MiGs go to anti-Russian mercenaries who will deny having anything to do with NATO?

They will get blown away once they get to theater or before they even get there.

I keep hearing backfilled with F-16’S? If the Poles and Ukrainians cannot fly/maintain those, what exactly does that mean?

You think China is just going to sit on the sidelines? Once our blood is in the water, they will jump-in and the rest of the world will leave them to it. How could you be this stupid?

In today’s world, I don’t know if you’re “sarcasting me” or not.

DC Jackasses and Polacks are going to get us nuked for their great patriotic war. The BEST we can hope for is 5 dollar gasoline. I paid 4.09 yesterday.

Seriously? You think “Big Pharma” is engineering nuclear war to cover up their “crimes”? (As if engineering a nuclear war is not a bigger crime than anything you can imagine.) Why would they care, anyway? They’ll be just as dead as the rest of us.

Well, The Bidet said he would do what he could to get the price of gas down. When there are no roads or cars to drive on them, guess the price will be a bit lower in mad max time.

Were giving them f-16s, which are 76-1 (win-loss) air to air, and taking back MiG-29s, which are 6-18.

Poles are trading up!

This gives the Poles a chance to stay out of nuclear exchange between Russia and US.

Uh...the fallout follows the wind. If they are not downwind on delivery day then they are OK, but that may only be temporary.

Polish mouth firmly clamped to the US Government nipple.

Russia can seize the patents, copyrights and other intellectual property of the companies of the countries that are wartime suppliers to Ukraine.

German companies saw their WW2 era US patent portfolios sold off by the FDR administration.
