Sweden is stepping up its support for Ukraine with the powerful Saab 340/ASC890 radar aircraft — a game-changing airborne early warning and control system. Equipped with the Erieye radar, this plane can detect Russian jets and bombers up to 250 kilometers away, giving Ukraine precious time to react before missiles or airstrikes hit.
But there’s more — Sweden is also training Ukrainian pilots, radar operators, and maintenance crews, ensuring the system is fully operational from day one. With timing tied to F-16 upgrades, this delivery marks a new phase in Ukraine’s defense strategy.
Could this be the radar shield Ukraine needs to protect its skies?

00:00Ukraine is getting a powerful eye in the sky, and it could change everything.
00:04Sweden's Saab 340 radar aircraft, equipped with the Advanced Area System, is on track for delivery to Ukraine.
00:12But there's a catch. The timing depends on upgrades to Ukraine's S-16 fighters.
00:17The aircraft, also called the ASC-890, can spot Russian jets like Su-35s and Su-34s from up to 250 km away.
00:27That means Ukraine can detect missile or bomb attacks before they even happen.
00:32The radar plane flies deep in the rear, safely scanning enemy activity far across the border.
00:37And Sweden isn't just sending planes. They're also training Ukrainian pilots, maintenance crews, and radar operators.
00:44This isn't just another aircraft transfer. It's a major upgrade in Ukraine's ability to defend its skies.
00:50With these eyes in the air, the battlefield just got a lot more transparent.
