The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Goverment, are ready to deploy immediately and free of charge all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.
At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes.
The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies owners of MIG-29 jets to act in the same vein.
