Deal on airspace protection by Czech Republic and Poland to be signed at SIAF

The agreement on the protection of Slovakia's airspace by the Czech Republic and Poland when Slovakia's MiG-29 fighter jets are grounded will be signed during the Slovak International Air Fest (SIAF) at Malacky-Kuchyna airbase on Saturday, Defence Ministry spokesperson Martina Koval Kakascikova told TASR. The Czech Republic and Poland are supposed to protect Slovakia's airspace until new F-16 fighter jets are supplied to Slovakia to replace the current MiG-29s.
