Poland just want to use MIGs for discount on F35s they forced to buy by NATO.
If you think that NATO is some defence alliance of countries - you have been lied. NATO is a weaponry shop for MIC. That is why they are so obsessed with expansion. To get new markets. Every time new country join NATO it forced to buy "NATO standard weapons", despite it could have their own perfetly working ones. I saw it in Hungary, Poland and other Western European countries. Poland bought absolutely unneeded 250 Abramses some time ago and in the same way tried to sell or exchange their T72s. Hungarians told me that NATO bring nothing except continous spending taxpayers money on "NATO standard" weapons. There are no any difference what guns to use for defence - AK or M16. That tales about different ammo is bullshit, it is not a problem to produce any ammo on the same facilities. But if you join NATO you have to throw out even all your AKs and buy M16s or whatever. It's all about trade, not defence. Even when Russia have negotiations about joining NATO everything was ruined by strict demand to purchase "NATO standard weapons" . Unbelievable, but yes, at some point there was an idea to completely exterminate all that NATO/Russia political bullshit by joining Russia to NATO. Putin even opened a real NATO base with US staff under Ulianovsk to service NATO planes on their way to Afganistan. and back. Yes, NATO had a military base even in Russia. But everything appeared to be about money and US MIC sales, not about some fictional defence, peace and protection.
That is the real reason NATO have to permanently expand and that is why every new country tries to sell or somehow exchange old non-NATO weapons to lower their losses on forced purchases of "NATO standard weapons". Just a business, nothing more.
