Germany Approves Poland’s Request To Send 5 Mig-29 Jets To Ukraine

 

DW: Germany approves Polish request to send Ukraine 5 MiG jets  

Germany has given its permission for formerly East German MiG fighter jets to be sent on to Ukraine. The swift approval comes just hours after Berlin said that it had received the application. 

Poland's formal request to Germany for permission to send five Cold War-era MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine has been given the green light, the German Defense Ministry confirmed on Thursday. 

According to German rules, the weapons that it sells require approval from Berlin if the receiving country wants to send them on to a third country.

See how the lie is made?

Are the Germans supplying the planes? No, it is the poles.

So the Germans can now say

"It is not really us, it is the Pols."

A convenient slight of hand.😁

5 jets from the 80's that have to base themselves off of a remote chunk of highway. This is not real support. We're giving them blunted swords and watching them bleed. Atrocious.
