I believe a large consignment of spare parts arrived, allowing the UAF to put a large number of their grounded aircraft back in service.

I see, but I'm referring to the Polish MiG-29s that were planned to go to Ukraine via the US base in Germany.
Scholz says Germany won't provide fighter jets to Ukraine – DW – 03/09/2022
Germany and the US have both said sending Polish MiG fighters to Ukraine would be an escalatory step. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has pleaded with NATO to provide more firepower.

Did these MiGs ever make it to Ukraine?

That said, I hope the Ukrainians have scored another maritime success. If only they had a couple of Kilo or other SSKs. There's some submarine chatter....

How will they get through the Bosporus? I'm pretty sure the Montreux Accord bans warships from active warring parties transiting the Straits.

My bad, I was thinking once this war is over. The Turks have banned ALL warships, so even the Bulgarian's plan to buy new German subs will need to wait.
It will be very interesting to see what Ukraine's military looks like by 2032. I imagine the old Soviet-era and much of the hodgepodge of NATO kit will have been replaced by more a more uniform, standardized and streamlined army and air force, along with a new navy fielding at least a pair of AIP SSKs. On the opposite side, god only knows what the Russian military will look like by 2032 - likely still fielding whatever T-72s surived the 2022-28? war with Ukraine.

Then Bulgaria could buy subs and resell or donate them to the Ukraine. How cool would that be?

I'm a big fan of our troops, but really, what gaps in UAF abilities or knowledge is Canada able to fill?
www.ctvnews.ca
After decades of neglect of the CAF, we don't have any modern kit that if donated would be overly difficult for the UAF to use. One thing we do have is more than a million ethnic Ukrainian-Canadians, like my wife whose grandparents emigrated here between the wars. So we likely have at least a few hundred fluently Ukrainian speaking soldiers to choose a training contingent from.
Canada's UkrainIans are big supporters.
