The Polish president: delivering fighter jets to Ukraine, a decision “not easy to make”

While the Polish president has been urging kyiv’s allies to provide tanks in recent weeks, in an interview with the BBC, Andrzej Duda is much more cautious about sending fighter planes: it’s a decision that doesn’t is “not easy to take”. Sending F-16s would pose a ‘serious problem’ because, with fewer than 50 aircraft in the Polish Air Force, ‘we don’t have enough…and we would need a lot more’ . In addition, the F-16s have a “very serious need for maintenance”.
