The Czech Republic was the first to decommission MiG-29 fighters. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia (on January 1, 1993 - into the Czech Republic and Slovakia), it received 10 of them, including 9 single-seat MiG-29 (9.12A) and 1 two-seat MiG -29UB. These planes were transferred to Poland in exchange for 11 brand new W-3 Sokół multi-role helicopters (one of them was a settlement for the stock of air-to-air guided missiles acquired together with the fighters).
Currently, some of the ex-Czech fighters have been transferred to Ukraine.

W-3A Sokol helicopters will finish their service with the Czech Air Force till 2028. Polish producer of Sokol helicopters offered too high price for general overhaul and modernisation planed for next years, so the Czech Air Force planes the end of Sokols, the last example will be canceled in 2028.

This is all true, with the caveat that since January 2010, the Polish production plants of PZL Świdnik have been sold to Agusta-Westland (Aero Vodochody also wanted to buy shares in PZL Świdnik, but unfortunately AW offered a higher price). Without going into details - think whether it is profitable for a large helicopter manufacturer to maintain production and repairs of PZL W-3 Sokół and SW-4 Puszczyk?
The Polish armed forces have the same problem and I think that in the future we will have to replace the helicopter fleet (actually, this is already happening, as can be seen after the purchase of the AW-149). And so ends the period when we constructed helicopters ourselves in Poland...
