A Polish plan to give Soviet-made MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine by leaving them at a US base in Germany would provide “little increased capabilities” to Ukrainian forces and would present a “high risk” to Nato by provoking Russia, Defence Department spokesperson John Kirby said Wednesday
On Tuesday, the Polish government unveiled a proposal to send the fighters — which Ukrainian pilots are currently trained to fly — to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, leaving them in the custody of the United States until Ukraine could send pilots to retrieve them or they could otherwise be brought into Ukraine.
