Poland is considering transferring at least one additional MiG-29 squadron to Ukraine, as reported by the President of Ukraine’s website. The transfer would involve at least 14 fighter jets and was discussed during the signing of a security agreement between Ukraine and Poland. However, the fighters cannot be transferred in the near future because they are currently involved in patrolling the skies as part of the NATO program. Last year, Poland handed over 14 of its MiG-29 fighter jets to the Ukrainian Defense Forces, with Germany’s approval.

The Polish Air Force still has 11 MiG-29As and 3 MiG-29UBs in service, for a total of 14 aircraft. These outdated Soviet-era aircraft no longer meet Poland’s modern needs for airspace protection, as the country currently relies on F-16 fighter jets. In 2026, Poland is scheduled to receive modern American F-35 fighters, for which they have already signed a contract worth $4.6 billion. Additionally, Poland is interested in acquiring the latest F-15EX fighters to further enhance its Air Force capabilities.
