Germany greenlights Poland's transfer of MiG-29 jets to Ukraine.

Germany has approved Poland's request to transfer five Soviet-designed MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine to help defend against the Russian invasion. Ukraine hopes to launch a counteroffensive in the coming months and needs fighter jets to defend against air raids. Western countries have been reluctant to provide Ukraine with advanced fighter jets, but some countries have stepped in to send old MiG-29 jets that Ukraine already uses. Although the MiG-29s may provide some relief to Ukraine, they are unlikely to satiate its demands for a powerful fighter jet coalition comprising US-made F-16s and F-35s, Eurofighter, Tornado, Rafale and Gripen warplanes.
