Slovakia handed over the first four Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine<\/a> on Thursday, with nine more expected to be delivered in the coming weeks, Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukrainian pilots traveled to Slovakia to pick up the planes before flying them home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Slovakia is on the right side, and with this gesture, we as a country have written ourselves in capital letters in modern world history, which speak of timely help, sincere solidarity and the greatness of the nation,” Nad said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Poland became the first NATO member to pledge fighter jets to Ukraine last week, with Slovakia following a day later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. agreed last week to give Slovakia a discount on a dozen new Bell AH-1Z attack helicopters<\/a> and 500 AGM-114 Hellfire II missiles. Slovakia previously signed a deal to buy 14 F-16 fighter jets from the U.S., but they won’t be delivered until next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other Western nations have so far declined to send fighter jets to Ukraine, but a growing cadre of U.S. lawmakers are pushing the Biden administration<\/a> to approve F-16 fighter jets for the country’s air force.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last week that modern fighter jets would be a “significant capability that could prove to be a game changer on the battlefield.”<\/p>\n

“After speaking with U.S., Ukrainian, and foreign leaders working to support Ukraine at the Munich Security Conference last month, we believe the U.S. needs to take a hard look at providing F-16 aircraft to Ukraine,” the senators wrote on March 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The senators noted that two Ukrainian pilots traveled to Morris Air National Guard Base<\/a> in Tucson, Arizona, earlier this month to assess their skills on an F-16 simulator. Ukrainian pilots mostly have experience with the older Soviet-era MiG-29 jets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
