Media: Slovakia to consider delivering MiG-29 jets to Ukraine

by The Kyiv Independent news desk February 11, 2023 4:20 AM 1 min read

Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger said Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Slovakia for MiG-29 fighter jets, Slovak newspaper SME reported. Heger added that negotiations will begin now.

According to Heger, these jets have been decommissioned, and Slovakia doesn’t plan to use them in the future.

Earlier, Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad said that the transfer of aircraft to Ukraine could not be decided only by Slovakia but required agreement with NATO partners.

Valued at $299 million by Nad MiG-29 jets have been long wanted by Ukraine to bolster its air force amid Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
