The Polish Air Force decided to replace Soviet MiG-29 fighters with South Korean FA-50s . This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense Mariusz Blashak.
“Yesterday we had a flight accident - the MiG-29 was forced to land due to technical problems. I will not allow Polish pilots to risk their lives using planes that are dangerous to them. In addition, these aircraft have a low combat value. Well, the third argument is that we do not have spare parts for these aircraft. We do not agree to supply parts for them from Russia, this is not even considered. In this regard, these aircraft should leave the service, ”he stressed.
The minister added that the MiG-29s will be replaced by South Korean FA-50 fighters. “The FA-50 aircraft, the first copies of which will be available to the Polish Air Force next year, will simply be replaced by these aircraft,” he explained.
As the Public News Service wrote earlier, Poland placed an order in South Korea for a thousand K2 tanks, over 600 K9 howitzers and three squadrons of FA-50 fighters. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic, Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blashak.
According to the
minister, Polish troops will receive armored vehicles this year.
