“Earlier this year, Poland decided to retain one squadron of aging Su-22 strike aircraft for up to 10 more years, since it cannot afford a replacement.”

It is much more related to a generation gap on the market. There's no sense to buy more F-16s at this point and F-35s are not going to be available for non-partner countries any time soon, so to keep 1 squadron in the air, it will use SU-22s for a few years more and then have them replaced together with MiG-29s.

As we learned during the Battle of Britain, it isn’t the plane, it’s the pilot.
