Britain is ready to help Poland boost its air force after Warsaw hands over MiG-29 fighters to Kiev.

According to APA, British Deputy Defense Minister James Hippie said this in an interview with the German newspaper "Die Welt" published on Monday.

"We will be very positive about Poland's desire to fill the gaps.

"When Warsaw first delivered T-72 main battle tanks to Ukraine, we already did that, we gave Poland Challenger 2 tanks. The same goes for fighter jets."
