The Pentagon rejected Poland's offer to provide its fleet of Russian-built MiG-29 jets for a U.S.-facilitated transfer to Ukraine.
."The prospect of fighter jets 'at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America' departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace that is contested with Russia over Ukraine raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance."
"It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it," he added."We will continue to consult with Poland and our other NATO allies about this issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe Poland's proposal is a tenable one." Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said there was not any"substantive rationale" to NATO ally Poland's offer to give the U.S. its fleet of MiG-29 fighter jets for use in the Russia-Ukraine war. One of the Russian-built jets is pictured at the 43rd Polish Naval Air Base airport in Gdynia-Babie Doly, Poland on July 28, 2014.
