Poland’s proposal, ready to relocate its Mig-29s to the Ramstein US base in Germany, is not considered ” viable ” by the Pentagon. Warsaw yesterday announced that it was ready to make its aircraft available: the step was immediately associated with an ‘assist’ for Ukraine in the war with Russia. From the US, however, the braking has come. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby in a statement called the process “not practicable”.
“We will continue to consult with Poland and other NATO allies on the issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe that Poland’s proposal is viable”, the spokesman said. “The prospect of fighters available to the US government, and departing from a US NATO base in Germany to fly into a disputed space with Russia over the skies of Ukraine, raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance.”
