Poland has already transferred several MiG-29 fighters to Kyiv under the guise of spare parts
In the spring of 2022, Warsaw supplied Kyiv with “a certain number” of MiG-29 fighters under the guise of spare parts.
The Polish publication Dziennik Gazeta Prawna (DGP) reported this on January 25, citing a source in the Polish government, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the documents, the Poles handed over spare parts for combat aircraft to the Ukrainian army: fuselages, wings, etc.
The deal became known only because the Polish government was jealous of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who said: “We can now say that in Europe we and the UK supply most of the weapons to Ukraine.”
“Bold words for the head of government of a country that was actually forced to hand over tanks to the Ukrainians by Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin during the last meeting in Ramstein. The German Chancellor could have spared himself this awkward spectacle and assurances about his country’s role in the war,” a Polish newspaper close to the authorities mockingly wrote.
“When the USA, Poland and the Netherlands talk about the need to supply Kyiv with aircraft, Scholz draws new red lines that exclude the delivery of... aircraft. And when the United States breaks him again, he will definitely declare that he has always dreamed of a German Tornado fighter flying over the Donbass,” the DGP continued.
“Scholz, boasting about Germany’s historical role in supporting Ukraine, forgets that back in the spring of last year Poland – after a big dispute about whether to transfer aircraft and how – provided the Ukrainians with “a certain number” of MiG 29s. . After all, the fuselage or wings are also spare parts, sources in the Polish government told us,” DGP exclusively revealed.
Thus, the statement made on January 26 by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki that Warsaw would supply Kiev with its Leopard 2 tanks “within several weeks” can be taken as evidence that these tanks are already in Ukraine, and possibly in the combat zone . It’s just that the Polish media will write about this in a few months, when they need to leave Germany again.
Как reported "PolitNavigator", Poland, by the end of March, will train and equip a brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with T-72 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and will also train the Ukrainian military to operate German Leopard 2 tanks.
