Three years later, the last fourteen Fulcrums in Polish service were supposed to follow them east. This week, Warsaw said no.<\/p>\r\n<p>Defence Minister W&#322;adys&#322;aw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed on Polsat News on 29 June that the transfer has been halted &mdash; and his explanation says as much about the state of Poland&ndash;Ukraine relations as any communiqu&eacute;. The jets, he said, were part of a bargain: MiGs in exchange for Ukrainian drone technology. In Warsaw&rsquo;s telling, Kyiv took the deal, then walked away from its half.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts: The Frozen Fulcrum Deal<\/p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top\">Announced<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0\">29 June 2026, Defence Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz on Polsat News<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top\">Jets<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0\">14 MiG-29s of the 41st Tactical Squadron, 22nd Air Base, Malbork<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top\">The deal<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0\">&ldquo;MiGs for drones&rdquo; &mdash; jets for Ukrainian drone and counter-drone technology, agreed in principle December 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top\">The claim<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0\">Ukraine &ldquo;initially agreed but did not honor&rdquo; the tech-sharing arrangement (Polish government; Kyiv has not commented)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top\">Reported fate<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0\">Reuters reports the jets may now be written off and scrapped<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:top\">Poland&rsquo;s replacement<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0\">FA-50s taking over at Malbork; MiG-29 retirement planned by end of 2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Swap That Soured<\/h2>\r\n<p>The logic of the original deal was elegant. Poland is retiring its MiG-29s anyway; Ukraine flies the type in combat and cannibalises every airframe it can get. Ukraine, meanwhile, has become the world&rsquo;s most battle-hardened drone power &mdash; exactly the expertise Poland wants after Russian drones crossed into its airspace in September 2025. Jets for know-how: both sides win.<\/p>\r\n<p>What broke it, according to Kosiniak-Kamysz, was Kyiv&rsquo;s drone diplomacy elsewhere. Ukraine has signed defence-technology agreements with Kuwait, and is courting Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar &mdash; paying customers, while Poland expected partnership terms. In the minister\u2019s telling, a Ukraine already able to sell drones to Kuwait and profit from them while at war could surely reciprocate toward those who supply it with equipment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #d32f2f;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;I proposed what I believe was a very partnership-based approach.

Since President Karol Nawrocki took office in August 2025 promising a &ldquo;symmetrical strategic partnership,&rdquo; the relationship has curdled through grain disputes, the painful history of Volhynia, and an extraordinary exchange in June: Nawrocki revoked President Zelensky&rsquo;s Order of the White Eagle, and Zelensky returned his Polish decorations. Between neighbours whose security is so tightly interlocked, the symbolism is chilling &mdash; Russian drones do not check passports on their way west.<\/p>\r\n<p>For Ukraine&rsquo;s air force, the practical loss is real but shrinking. Its future is Western: <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-16-fighting-falcon\">F-16s<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/mirage-2000\">Mirage 2000s<\/a> in service, sixteen <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/saab-gripen\">Gripen<\/a> Es ordered this week, and talk of <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/rafale\">Rafales<\/a>. Fourteen high-hour Fulcrums &mdash; some reportedly already earmarked for write-off &mdash; were never going to decide the war. But spare parts and airframes keep a battered MiG-29 fleet flying, and Oryx counts at least 38 Ukrainian Fulcrums lost so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1401810199  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/polish-mig-29-takeoff-riat.jpg\" alt=\"Polish Air Force MiG-29 taking off\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A Polish MiG-29 departs at RIAT.
