Reuters: Poland to Send Ukraine 4 MiG-29 Jets in Coming Days
WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will send Ukraine four MiG-29 fighter jets in coming days, the president said on Thursday, making it the first of Kyiv's allies to provide such aircraft.
One of Ukraine's staunchest supporters, Warsaw has taken a leading role in persuading sometimes hesitant allies to provide Kyiv with heavy weaponry.
It has said that any transfer of jets would be as part of a coalition.
"Firstly, literally within the next few days, we will hand over, as far as I remember, four aircraft to Ukraine in full working order," Andrzej Duda told a news conference.
"The rest are being prepared, serviced." On Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that deliveries could be made in four to six weeks.

Poland has to lead the way, because President Piss Pants won't
only 4 jets? that's like sending 30 tanks to a 1000km front.
Better than nothing
4 now, more being refurbished and being supplied shortly. Like the UK challengers , this isn't about the 4 jets it's about other nations following suite
I want to be postive like you faz.. but it looks like the obly reason why any weapons are being sent is to buy new stuff. Russia will win this eventually. Which is such a kick in the face for nato who is happy sending 1 tank a month
Imagine if this situation were The Big One. Talk about a disaster for Nato. They can't even keep Ukraine properly supplied much less in a timely manner. Now the Ukrainians are being pushed to attack soon!!! Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it.
As I've said before the Ivans have the bodies to spend, the Ukes were grinding them down with hit and run. Whoever supported this sitzkreig around Bah whatever the spelling seems rather amateurish.
It's not the plane, it's the pilot
