Sweden will transfer to Ukraine two of its Saab 340 AEW&C long-range radar reconnaissance aircraft, also called ASC 890. The aircraft will coordinate the work of Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilots. It is worth noting that training the crew of a Saab 340 AEW&C aircraft takes a long time and the aircraft may not be handed over soon; perhaps the aircraft crews were trained in advance. Also, for full operation, the plane must rise to a height of about 6 kilometers, which is quite dangerous in Ukraine. The Saab 340 AEW&C aircraft was developed on the basis of the Saab 340B passenger aircraft and made its first flight in 1994; Sweden also produces a similar AWACS aircraft, the Saab 2000 AEW&C, based on the Saab 2000 aircraft. The twin-engine turboprop aircraft Saab 340 AEW&C is equipped with an Ericsson Microwave System Erieye PS radar. 890/ASC-890 with active grille developed in 1985. The PS-890 Erieye radar allows you to detect fighters, helicopters, cruise missiles and targets at sea, at a range of 300-400 kilometers, when the aircraft is flying at an altitude of 6096 meters. The aircraft system is compatible with on-board systems and NATO standards. The aircraft crew, including radar operators, consists of 6 people, patrol time is about 5 hours.

Defense line of the Ukrainian army in the Kyiv region. Footage of the constructed defensive structures of the Ukrainian army in the Kyiv region has been published. It is worth noting that earlier, deputy of the Ukrainian Rada Irina Gerashchenko visited the Kharkov region and stated that the work on the construction of fortifications in the region was only an “imitation of vigorous activity”; money for fortifications in the Kharkov region was rolled into the ground for 1.5 years. The authorities of the Kyiv region, after a scandal surrounding reports of possible embezzlement during the construction of fortification lines on the borders of the Kharkov region, attracted special services and public organizations to check the construction of defensive lines in the region.
