Apparently the Polish MiGs are in poor condition, and the Polish government is looking to get rid of them. That's bullsh*t. The Ukrainians need working aircraft, not someone's sloppy seconds. What would probably benefit them the most are attack helicopters, preferably with anti-tank missiles. Of course, that's just MHO.
