However some intentional fog of war on the topic cannot be excluded...
On 26th February minister announced that Mig-29 fighters will be phased out very soon. Slovakia is training pilots in US to take over 14 F-16 Block 70. Those are currently being built in Greenville, with delivery anticipated in the mid-2020s.
I have a strong feeling that if Slovakia would suddenly loose those Mig29's there would be some acquaintancies that would be able to provide them with loaner F16's in a rather rapid pace.
