Poland has publicly transferred fighter aircraft to Ukraine since 2023, and has provided a total of 14 aircraft, and is gradually replacing air defense tasks with US-made F-16s and South Korean-made FA-50s.
Poland continues to provide military aid to Ukraine. Foreign military news websites reported that Poland will provide Ukraine with two MiG-29 fighter jets as a new batch of military aid with a total price of about 50 million euros (approximately NT$1.8 billion). Only one of them is still capable of flying, and the other may be dismantled as a source of parts to help the Ukrainian army maintain the operation of its active MiG-29 fleet.
The foreign military news website "Defense Blog" quoted the Polish newspaper "Rzeczpospolita" as saying that Reserve Lieutenant General Dariusz Łukowski, director of the Strategy and Defense Planning Bureau of the Polish Ministry of Defense, confirmed that the decision to transfer two MiG-29s to Ukraine has been made and is expected to be delivered in the near future, but the exact date has not been announced. In addition to fighter aircraft, this batch of military aid also includes 155 mm and 152 mm artillery shells, 20 mm aircraft artillery shells used by F-16 fighter jets, and ammunition for Polish-made Piorun shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles.
Poland is an important source of MiG-29 fighters for Ukraine. It has publicly handed over fighters since 2023 and has provided a total of 14 aircraft. The two countries discussed handing over at least one more squadron in 2024, but Poland still has to use MiG-29s to perform air surveillance missions, so it has been delayed.
It was not until the Polish Air Force gradually took over the mission with US-made F-16 and South Korean-made FA-50 light fighters that there was more room to hand over old fighters. Poland originally hoped to exchange military aid for Ukrainian drone and missile technology, but relevant cooperation has not yet materialized.
It is worth noting that the Ukrainian Air Force still relies on Soviet-made MiG-29s to perform combat missions. In addition to receiving foreign military aid, it also obtains spare parts by dismantling decommissioned fighter aircraft to maintain fleet availability. Therefore, even older fighters that cannot take to the air still have logistical value.
In addition, Poland recently provided Ukraine with 10 Patriot PAC-3 MSE missiles. The Polish Ministry of National Defense stated that since the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war broke out in 2022, the cumulative value of military aid to Ukraine has reached 16.45 billion zlotys (approximately NT$135.56 billion), and it continues to support Ukraine in its fight against the Russian army.
