Poland has been one of the strongest Ukrainian backers and has already donated half its legacy MiG-29 Fulcrum fleet. It is now possible that Poland will soon donate its remaining 15 or so MiG-29s to Ukraine. The first F-16s are now flying in Ukraine, but it will be a long time before Ukraine is able to transition fully from Soviet jets. According to Forbes, this has the potential to bring Ukraine’s MiG-29 fleet back up to full strength. This is a remarkable achievement and further underscores how badly Russia’s 2.5-year-long invasion has backfired.
