Sweden has announced a military assistance package of 1.16 billion euros to Ukraine, which is the 16th largest and largest package of its kind. The package includes the ASC 890 radar detection system, which will also be transferred along with similar technology, as reported by various international military sources.

The ASC 890 radar detection system is expected to provide a significant advantage for Ukraine’s anti-aircraft defense. Swedish Defense Minister Paul Johnsson stated that it will be capable of detecting and intercepting American F-16 fighters, as well as neutralizing stealth planes, non-radar aircraft, and missiles in the sea.

In addition to the radar detection system, Sweden will also provide AMRAAM medium-range air-to-air missiles for combat aircraft, including the F-16 fighters that Ukraine is acquiring from European countries. These missiles will be used in sophisticated radar systems.

The defense ministry of Sweden has also announced that it will provide all PBV 302 armored vehicles to Kiev. This move comes as Sweden reduces its own security by transferring fighter jets to Ukraine. To compensate for this, Sweden plans to increase the number of drones, including the purchase of additional S106 GlobalEye drones produced by Saab, based on Bombardier Global 6000 drones.
