Speaking to public broadcaster Polish Radio on Friday, Kosiniak-Kamysz said Warsaw remained ready to hand over the Soviet-era aircraft provided Ukraine shares its expertise in unmanned combat systems.
He said the arrangement, agreed in principle last year, would give Poland's armed forces and defense industry access to Ukraine's extensive battlefield experience with drones.
Ukraine has the capacity to meet its own military needs while exporting drones to other markets, including the Middle East, Kosiniak-Kamysz said, adding that Poland expected Kyiv to honour the agreement.
"Ukraine cannot forget that solidarity is a two-way street," he said.
"If Ukraine is no longer interested in the jets, Poland will handle them on its own," he added.
Poland agreed months ago to transfer its remaining MiG-29s to Ukraine under the proposed exchange.
After Russian drones briefly entered Polish airspace in September last year, Kyiv pledged to share drone technology and operational know-how with Warsaw, Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
