As reported by Defence24, Polish and Slovak air forces will soon begin a cooperation since Slovak Air Force will soon become a user of fourteen F-16 jets replacing the MiG-29s.
Slovakia will be able to make use of the Polish experience regarding this type of transition. Not only does Poland have the F-16C/D jets at its disposal, but the Polish Air Force also operates a fleet of M-346 Bielik AJTs tailored to train pilots for the 4th generation Mutli-Role Combat Aircraft, like F-16. It cannot be ruled out that the Polish-Slovak cooperation could pave the way towards Bratislava’s involvement in NATO Air Policing initiatives.
