Only a few weeks ago the Polish government offered the USA all of their Mig 29s in exchange for similar aircraft (something like the F16 C/D) so that the USA could pass on the Migs to Ukraine

Poland has been using updated Mig 29s with upgraded western avionics and systems I certainly know the IFF system was installed along with some other systems
Not 100% sure but I do believe their Klimov engines were replaced with GE ones
