That's not how that works. You can't just take random pilots and stick them in random aircraft and expect them to be able fly; never mind keep pace with the gen-5 SU-57. Pilots train for hundreds of hours just to certify on one aircraft, not to mention the whole maintenance crew behind the pilot.
If this is a real story, then it's pure posturing.
Mig-29s are not Su-57(Which is, arguably more of a 4th gen aircraft or an over glorified 5th gen). These are planes that Ukraine already has in its inventory and pilots for. You can argue that they have received upgrades that place them a notch or two above to what the Ukrainians are familiar with. But there is the possibility that these equipment will be stripped out, or what are not NATO secret, it shouldn't take too long for the retraining of the Ukrainian pilots.
Poland will probably receive F-16s, since they already have that in their inventory. They could also get massive discounts on the superior F-35s they already have on order, or an express order of F-16s Block 70(with a discount). The problem remains that Taiwan also ordered them, and they have China on their ass.
It will, with Japan(non-NATO, but has a substantial defense pact with the US), Denmark(NATO), Sweden and Finland all showing their interests in either joining NATO, or upgrading their armies even more due to Russia... It may be booming indeed.
I do not offer any financial advice, but I assume it will be booming.

Wow, is it time to invest in arms manufacturers? It sounds like business will be booming.
