Poland was ready to scrap these MiG-29s. Bulgaria’s interest just revived the Ukraine deal.
Warsaw was ready to let the jets go to the scrapyard — until a rival buyer showed up.
Recent reports reveal that Poland's interest in selling its retiring MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine has reignited negotiations between the two countries. Poland and Ukraine are reportedly close to finalizing a deal that would see the transfer of aging MiG-29 jets to Ukraine in exchange for Ukrainian drones and drone warfare expertise.
Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk stated that Bulgaria's interest in the jets has revived discussions between Warsaw and Kyiv. Poland is seeking various types of Ukrainian drones, as well as knowledge on strike-drone communications, control principles, and physical samples of the hardware. The deal's progress appears to have accelerated since Rustem Umerov took over as head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service.
