ASC 890 will provide 🇺🇦 with a new capability against both airborne and maritime targets. 🇺🇦 capability to identify targets at long range will be strengthened. They will act as a force multiplier with the introduction of F-16. AMRAAMs will also be donated. (2/6)

I'm really glad to hear about this donation by the good people of Sweden. It's about time that the Ukrainians have a modern surveillance and control aircraft as opposed to the old soviet ones or none( I don't know what they currently have if anything).
