Slovakia plans to decommission its Soviet MiG-29s. Instead, in 2024 it will receive F-16s from the United States, and until then Poland and the Czech Republic will guard the country’s skies.

Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic signed on Saturday, August 27, an agreement on the protection of the skies, Reuters reports.

According to the agreement, the Czech Republic and Poland will monitor it in Slovakia from September, while Bratislava awaits the delivery of 14 new American-made F-16 fighters, expected in 2024.

The agreement was signed due to the fact that Slovakia was decommissioning its Soviet MiG-29s.

Defense Minister Yaroslav Nagy said Bratislava is ready to send planes to Ukraine, but no agreement has yet been reached. “There is political will and it makes sense to help those in need… This possibility is being considered and as soon as there is an agreement, we will inform you,” he said.

The minister valued Slovak MiGs at around 300 million euros. According to him, Slovakia will require some financial or material compensation for its donations.

The MiG-29 fighter is a fourth-generation Soviet multipurpose development. It is designed to destroy all types of air targets with guided missiles and fire from an airborne gun in simple and difficult weather conditions, as well as to destroy ground targets.

Recall that talks about the possibility of transferring the Slovak MiG-29 to Ukraine have been ongoing since the beginning of the war against Russia.
