Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic also decided to launch a program to expand the production of artillery systems, ammunition and other military equipment for Ukraine - Danish Defense Minister Morten Bodskov.

Since the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine, Slovakia has had problems with the repair of Russian-made MiG-29 fighters. Therefore, at the end of August, the Ministry of Defense finally landed these machines.. The Ministry of Defense is now looking for a way to monetize fighters. Yaroslav Nadi estimates the cost of 30-year-old aircraft at 300 million euros. He is negotiating a ransom with his allies, according to a report..

Slovakia's interest is that these planes go to Ukraine.

Therefore, a scenario is also possible when Slovakia will provide Ukraine with aircraft, and from another country it will receive the corresponding cost necessary for defense..

Earlier it was reported that after the attack on the base in the Crimea, Russian aviation would have to move away from Ukraine.. It is possible that the Ukrainian forces not only destroyed many Russian aircraft, but also undermined the effectiveness of further operations of the Russian Air Force.
