How Swedish aircraft will change situation on battlefield in Ukraine

The largest military aid package to Ukraine, announced by Sweden, included two ASC 890 aircraft from Saab AB with Erieye radars. Ukrainian military-political observer of the Information Resistance group Oleksandr Kovalenko told the Charter97 media outlet website what kind of planes these are and how they can change the situation on the battlefield: “ASC 890, also known as Saab 340, is a long-range radar reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft, which in the case of Ukraine is intended primarily to support F-16 aircraft, which is exactly what they are being transferred for. Currently, we receive intelligence information from our partners using their AWACS, which are in the airspace of Poland, Romania, Bulgaria or over the Black Sea. Plus, there is also satellite reconnaissance, due to which all this information is directly transmitted to Ukraine”, he added.
