Recently, Ukraine has ushered in a strong aid, it turns out that after Romania, Slovakia also wants to aid Ukraine's 11 MiG-29 fighters, and even in order to achieve this goal, Slovakia will not hesitate to hand over its airspace to other countries to defend, the Czech Republic and Poland have promised to defend the country's airspace, until the United States delivers the F16, so why is Slovakia so anti-Russian? Even the last belongings of the Air Force were handed over.

In fact, it is not slovakia that is anti-Russian, it can be found that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, these former Warsaw Pact countries have basically joined the embrace of NATO, Slovakia is no exception, and NATO's biggest opponent is undoubtedly Russia. You know, the most fundamental purpose of the United States in provoking the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is to use Ukraine to contain Russia, and even eventually drag down this country, in this context, these NATO members naturally have money to contribute money, strong contribution, and take this opportunity to more actively express themselves in front of the United States, in order to win the goodwill of the United States.

Of course, Slovakia will be in the hands of the MiG-29 aid to Ukraine, in fact, there are their own selfish intentions, MiG-29 is a medium fighter developed during the Soviet Period, although the indicator data is very good, but the actual combat performance is very general, in the face of US fighters, MiG-29 presents a one-sided record. This is actually not because the strength of the MiG-29 is not good, but the countries that use it and fight with the US military, basically some small and medium-sized countries, simply cannot build a perfect combat system like the US military, so the disadvantages of the MiG-29 have also been greatly magnified.
Moreover, the MiG-29 fighter has the title of airfield defender, mainly because its combat radius is too short, in fact, in the positioning of soviet fighters, the MiG-29 is a homeland air defense fighter, so it does not pay special attention to the range problem, and the real long-range combat mission is the Su-27 series. Slovakia to provide the MiG-29 to Ukraine, is indeed the most powerful aid, to know that in this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukraine's air power suffered heavy losses, air supremacy can be said to be completely controlled by Russia, the Ukrainian army is in urgent need of new fighters.

Slovakia after the MiG-29 fighter to Ukraine, strengthened the Ukrainian Air Force combat capabilities, even if this little aid can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, but for Slovakia is enough, so that it can get F16 fighters from the United States, and the MiG-29 is different, the United States has carried out a comprehensive upgrade of this fighter, especially the F16V model, combat capabilities are even equivalent to the fifth generation of aircraft, so Slovakia's move is also a shotgun for a gun, The only regret is that the F16 won't be delivered until at least 2024.
In fact, on the issue of aid to Ukraine, there are not a few countries that have the same ideas as Slovakia, and they all hope to send their own weapons and equipment that should have been retired to Ukraine in exchange for more advanced weapons and equipment, but even if they provide strong assistance, they will not be able to turn the tide of the War between Russia and Ukraine, and Russia has always controlled the initiative.
