Poland has not yet transferred MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine despite prior indications of doing so. Deputy Minister of National Defence, Cezary Tomczyk, revealed the delay is linked to a stalled agreement regarding Ukrainian access to Polish drone technology. According to Tomczyk, Poland is prepared to deliver the aircraft once the drone technology agreement is finalized. The condition centers on Ukraine fulfilling its commitments related to the use of this technology. This development introduces a new element to the ongoing military aid discussions between the two countries. The Polish government appears to be leveraging the jet transfer to secure cooperation on a separate, technologically significant matter. The situation highlights the complex negotiations surrounding international military assistance in the conflict.
