Way cool.

Poles know good military gear, AKs and F-16s.

If by outturning the MiGs you mean roll, then you are right. In low speed, and at low level, however, the MiG-29 is the better. Close in, at low speed, my money is on the 29, but at high speed and BVR, the F-16 has the upper hand. I think it is absolutely wonderful having both of these planes together. They complement each other's capabilities nicely. They will make a good team.
