Nad: Poland set to start guarding Slovakia's airspace in summer or autumn

Defence Minister Jaroslav Nad has said he assumes that Poland is set to start protecting Slovakia's airspace in the summer or at the beginning of the autumn. "The date hasn't yet been set exactly, it depends on when we will sign the respective technical documents with the Poles," the minister explained. According to Nad, the issue of the potential provision of MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine is not the agenda of the day. Ground weapons are Ukraine's priority at the moment. Nad reiterated that Slovakia will give up its T-72 tanks as soon as it has adequate replacements for them. It is holding talks on this with several countries.
