Possible Russian Sabotage of Ukraine-Bound Fighter Jets: Slovak Defense Minister

Russian technicians, who were working on a Slovak air base until late 2022, appear to have sabotaged MiG-29 fighter jets headed to Ukraine, according to Slovakia's Defense Minister. The defects only appeared in parts the Russians worked on, and the jets were only capable of flying, not combat. Ukraine has the resources to fix the defects and get the jets fully operational. Slovakia and Poland pledged to send Ukraine fleets of MiG-29 fighter jets, which are similar to Ukraine's own MiG-29s and some are reportedly only useful for spare parts.
