Ukraine will get 13 MiG-29 fighter aircraft from Slovakia.

Slovakia will donate 13 MiG-29 warplanes to Ukraine, making it the second NATO member to announce such a shipment following a similar move by Poland. Slovakia will also deliver a Kub air defense system to Ukraine, which has long requested fighter jets from Western allies. The Kremlin in response said the fighter jets given to Ukraine by Poland and Slovakia would be destroyed, and repeated that Western arms deliveries to Kyiv would not change Russia's military aims. The transfer of MiGs from Slovakia to Kyiv will take "a couple of weeks". Slovakia plans to replace the jets with American F-16s, and the changeover should take place no later than January 2024.
