I’m surprised Poland won’t trade some in for F16s would have been difficult to get them safely over the border. I think a private US company owns some.
I suppose once you give some to Ukraine you know Russia isn’t going to give you any spare parts so you have to sell off all your fleet, which rules out India. You have to retrain your pilots which leaves you less protected for a while even if you get new planes.

Suggestion that Ukraine won't be getting new jets from EU members after all, was thought Poland, Bulgaria or Romania might be able to supply Mig-29's which Ukraine pilots are trained on but is suggested Poland and Bulgaria have now declined, looks like someone jumped the shark making the announcement
