The Government of Slovakia is ready to transfer Soviet fighter jets to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We are talking about MiG-29 aircraft. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia in an interview with ‘Interfax-Ukraine’. According to the minister, Slovakia is currently negotiating with NATO partners on how best to do this. Unfortunately, there are no delivery dates for fighters yet.
The MiG-29 is a fourth-generation multipurpose Soviet fighter. It was the main multi-purpose fighter of the countries of the Warsaw Pact and the USSR during the 80s of the XX century. Currently, the MiG-29 is in service with many countries of the world, including Ukraine. It has more than 15 modifications. By the way, Slovakia has 11 aircraft in service: 9 MiG-29AS and 2 MiG-29UBS.
