Sweden Bolsters Ukraine's Air Defense with ASC 890 Surveillance Aircraft

The advanced plane will enhance Ukraine's ability to detect and counter aerial and maritime threats, strengthening its defense capabilities.

Sweden's ASC 890 aircraft is part of a €1.16 billion military aid package to Ukraine.
The ASC 890 can detect missiles, drones, and warplanes at long range, providing critical data to Ukraine's defense systems.
This is the first time Ukraine will have such advanced surveillance capabilities since the Soviet era.
The plane will work in tandem with F-16 fighter jets and other defense systems to improve target identification and response.
Ukraine's President Zelenskiy and Sweden's Defense Minister Jonson highlight the strategic importance of this contribution.
