Ukrainian air defense got one of the biggest boosts as reports emerged that a new powerful flying radar from Sweden had probably already arrived in Ukraine. This system will help the Ukrainian air defenses not only in their offensive operations but will also significantly support their ability to defend the Ukrainian rear from constant Russian missile and drone attacks, Euromaidan Press reports. Sweden has pledged to deliver two ASC 890 airborne warning and control system planes to Ukraine as part of its largest military aid package to date, valued at approximately €1.16 billion. Sweden’s decision marks a significant enhancement in Ukraine’s air defense capabilities. These aircraft, equipped with advanced area radar systems, are designed to provide long-range surveillance and target identification.
While official confirmation is pending, reports that a calibration aircraft was flying over western Ukraine suggest that Ukrainians are making final preparations—recalibrating and fine-tuning ground-based radars for the arrival of the new Swedish planes.
The ASC 890, based on the Saab 340 airframe, is an airborne early warning and control aircraft. It features the Erieye radar, a fixed active electronically scanned array mounted atop the fuselage. This radar system offers a detection range of up to 450 kilometres and can track multiple targets simultaneously, including aircraft, missiles, and drones., Euromaidan Press saysBy operating at high altitudes of 6,000 meters, the ASC 890 can monitor vast areas, providing real-time data to command centers and enhancing situational awareness.
Essentially, aircraft like the ASC 890 serve as flying radar stations and command centres, coordinating air and ground operations effectively. Their compact size and reliability make them ideal for rapid deployment. In the context of Ukraine’s current defense infrastructure, the ASC 890 represents a substantial upgrade. Ukraine’s existing radar systems are primarily ground-based, and even though some of them have a range of around 350 to 400 kilometres, their immobility limits their range and makes them vulnerable to terrain obstructions, Euromaidan Press says. The ASC 890’s airborne platform overcomes these limitations, offering a broader, more flexible surveillance capability. This enhancement is crucial for the early detection of incoming threats, more accurate tracking of them, and a better response time that would allow Ukrainian air defense to intercept air threats more successfully.
The integration of the ASC 890 is particularly significant in light of Ukraine’s acquisition of Western fighter jets, notably the F-16s, Euromaidan Press says After the manufacturer, Saab, made some updates to improve the interoperability between the two systems, the ASC 890 can now provide these aircraft with comprehensive situational awareness, guiding them to targets and alerting them to potential threats. As a result, these AWACS will significantly improve the engagement range of the F-16s, allowing them to use their modern air-to-air missiles at their maximum ranges and improve substantially the limited radar detection range of the F-16. Overall, Sweden’s ASC 890 aircraft’s arrival is a strategic boon for Ukraine, especially amid uncertainties regarding continued American intelligence support.
