#Ukraine gets air surveillance capability for 1st time since 1991
#Sweden €1.4bn aid package --- largest during #Russia invasion --- also includes air defense, artillery ammunition, and armored vehicles "at the top of Ukraine’s priority list"
In first, Sweden to supply ASC 890 surveillance aircraft to Ukraine, rolls out largest aid package
The Swedish Ministry of Defence said that the surveillance aircraft will offer Ukraine “an entirely new capability for airborne radar reconnaissance and combat control against targets in the air and at sea."
The Kingdom of #Sweden will supply #Ukraine with a Saab 340 AEW&C #AWACS aircraft, all existing Swedish Army's Pbv 302 armored personnel carriers, AIM-120 #AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, surplus Main Battle tanks and artillery shells, announced the Kingdom's Defense Minister Paul Junson.
In addition, Ukraine will receive Swedish satellite communication terminals with a paid subscription, resources for servicing supplied equipment and assistance in creating its own defense research institute.
#Putin's arrogance and nerve are absolutely breathtaking. This dude goes and invades a sovereign nation without any sort of provocation, then he threatens the world with destruction if that nation strikes back. If he's so worried about escalation, he can pack up the murderers, rapists, and child abusers that make up his military, and go the fuck home. It's his actions that are responsible for the current situation.

She is a mine detection specialist. The heroic sheepdog was also on the front line, and dozens of times warned our military against falling into occupiers' mine ambushes. Twice more, she found shells from the Second World War in Podil district of Odesa region. #ukrainian#ukraine#UkraineWar#dog#dogs#dogsofmastodon#photo#photography
