A retired Portuguese army major general
General Pereira reminded that Poland was the first to decide to hand over its MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine , followed by Slovakia on Friday. 

I expect that the next country to join this "coalition" of countries sending their MiG-29s to Ukraine will be the Czech Republic. 

I think that it was no coincidence that Polish President Andrzej Duda announced the decision to hand over the fighters during the visit of Czech President Petr Pavel, who is a military commander after all, noted the general.

MiG-29 aircraft can particularly help Ukraine in combating bombers carrying dangerous hypersonic missiles , stressed Pereira.

The importance of aviation in war
Since World War II, no country has won a war without having an air force - summed up the general, reminding that the potential of Ukraine's air force so far was negligible.

“The process of selling these fighter planes has been closely coordinated with Poland, with Ukraine, and of course with other allies,” explained Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger.

These planes have been renovated to be adapted to Western standards. They should also be able to use the JDAM-ER guidance system provided by the Americans, which can transform bombs into missiles, provided they fly at a certain altitude. It will be necessary to thwart the Russian ground-to-air defenses for this.

West planes take 2 years to familiarize, so this is faster.

Anyway there are already ten thousands polish on Ukr ground 
not surprise if some hidden pilots found.
