I wonder how they solved the problem with the NATO MIGs having completely different systems than the Ukrainian air force? They must have either magically retrofitted the MIGs back with old Soviet tech, or they're transferring more than just jets to Ukraine.

Yes, this is a problem if they're to be delivered immediately, but there are a couple of machines (around 10 I think) that haven't been equipped with NATO systems plus some that are used for spare parts but are in a good condition. SO these could be sent soon, and the remaining part depends on the decision of the USA - if they want it, the NATO systems could be removed (it will take some weeks at least).
