Poland prepared to transfer its remaining MiG-29 jets to Ukraine
Yahoo! News ^ | March 8, 2023 | Staff Report

Poland is ready to hand over all of its MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with CNN on March 8.

“...the remaining part of the MiG-29s which we have in Poland, which are operational, and which are now serving in our Air Force – we stand ready to provide those planes and I’m sure that Ukraine would be ready to use those planes instantly because Ukraine has got pilots able to operate those machines, right now,” Duda said.

The president noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to switch to NATO standards and will ultimately use Western jets like the F-16, so the Ukrainian pilots need training now.

At the same time, referring to his earlier conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he stressed that long-range artillery remains Kyiv’s top military necessity.

"May it be so!"

You try to sound Christian but you are a demon parroting words that you do not understand.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity

Over one year into its invasion, Russia has not won.

What's it like being the gas station getting its ass kicked?

Remember the old days when joking about Polish people not being all that bright was a thing?

Sounds like Poland is about to make the fatal mistake of trusting the west to provide them with others

Looks like nothing’s changed. I suppose I’ll have to go to a re-education camp.

You are are the poisoned fruit of a poisonous tree calling for death and destruction with quasi-religious phrases like a retarded cult member. Despicable.

What is a couple of years between friends? I'm sure the Poles will get replacements someday.

"the Ukrainian pilots need training now."

Upgrade the Polish Air Force to US ADF-16 dogfighters and interceptors...AC-130 Spectre, reliable ground-pounders, etc. with US-trained instructors...Let the Ukraines have the Migs with the new Polish AF in supporting roles, repossess Army-Marine ground force heavy equipment from Afghanistan and bring them into the fold...

The “West” is fighting with both hands behind its back, other than the left pinkie.

I wonder if any of them were broken down and how many parts they had for them. A lot of countries brag about what the got but in the long run what they got is all for show. My gut feeling is their is more to this story then meets the eye.
