Well the aircraft are certainly satisfactory, and Ukrainian pilots can fly them well enough, but can they do it right now.
They are gonna need considerable practice and training exercises to get up to the game the Russians can mount tomorrow.

Polish RAF pilots had lower quality planes than their British counterparts during the Battle of Britain, but had a higher kill ratio. It’s the pilot, not the plane.

Now, this is an instance where US / NATO / Ukrainian cooperation could be very useful. We train Ukrainian pilots and in the process have more pilots of our own with hands on experience of what the Russki Mig-29’s can do.
