@@danielandersson4651 No, we've never offered gripen. It's been discussed with ither nations when coordinating these donations, but never actually offered since training for two separat aircraft systems at the same time would be to much of a hassle right now.
Also CV90's and CB90's. The latest Swedish aid package also included parts for Gripen fighters, so it seems likely that Gripen fighters will happen eventually.
They also move the horizon further away and can therefore detect enemy radar and missile control that would have been otherwise hidden.This is a very good piece!
Cheers for looking into this! Gonna be interesting. (Sweden recently also ordered a 3'd GlobalEye plane, original plan was for only 2 but that was before the donation)
I think Sweden only had those two aircraft for radar coverage. So they gave what they had. Maybe they have one or two more, but this was basically it, for now. And yes, if the communication link works as in Sweden, then all F-16s will have on their displays what the Saab radars pick up. Directly and no delay. I see this, so all of my buddies see it as well. And what any of my buddies see, I see. This means you can go in close with the enemy, radar shut off so not to give away that you are there, and still see everything on your radar display as if you had your radar on. Because you get info from your buddies, who are further away, and radar on. Sneaky!
Afaik we were expecting delivery of the replacements so basically handed over "the old stuff" as soon as it made sense. And being in NATO and with improved Nordic cooperation, we anyway had coverage to what was needed in the baltics, especially around the temporary Russian exclave that is our main worry.
The radar has the range of 550kilometers so they will know early if they are being targeted… the radar are more sensitive then other radars and can easly pick up missiles, so if they use them carefully these 2planes will last the war.
As a Swede, I think the old rivalry between us and the Danes are working for the greater good, here. Every time Sweden sends weapons the Danes try to outdo us. They have actually sent twice as much military materiel as us in terms of BNP - 1.9% compared to 0.8%.
the north will always give help to our fellow countrys no matter what!! sweden finland norway and denmark will always stand up for wichever country in europe
Think they will be used mainly against drones and missiles with this plane , so they get longer notice before so they have a longer time to take them out .
That was a great decision of the Swedes. The surveillance / control aircraft allows Ukraine to operate both their existing Mig-29, SU-27 fleets and the recently commissioned F-16 fleet and their land-based air defence much more effectively.
This is the old awacs Sweden give to Ukraine , really good airplane !! But Sweden already fill up with there new Saab Globaleye in 2026 !! The new awacs too Sweden is one of the most advance in the world. But the old one Ukraine have now is really really good !
that looks like a Wedgetail. an Australian Surveillance aircraft. temporarily stationed in Germany . factory in Qld is producing tank artillery shells for Ukraine
These planes actually out run figher jets! Think about it, they will see them far ahead of beeing spotted from enemy jet fighters. Therefore it's not that dangerous, they can just change course well before the enemy jets even know that they are there. And of course these plans will be protected by jet fighters.
Swedens military budget between 2020 to 2024 went from 6 billion to 12 billion Euros. For 2025 it is set at 12.25 billion and for the coming period up to 2030, the Government proposes over 15 billion Euros in additional funding.
@@TheXmabax Not quite. The budget for 2025 will be SEK 138 billion. For the period 2026-2030, there will be a total increased allocation of SEK 170 billion. So you can expect the budget in that period to be in the 160-200 billion range, or about EUR 16-20 billion.
The thing is, since this system is placed on the back of a very common small civilian airliner, Ukraine likely has plenty of civilian pilots and ground crew already qualified on it. The operators in the back does the same work as a ground based radar and theatre command center and thus only need an interface familiarisation course to plug and play.
I know I watched another video once and they showed the inside of a plane and it had rows of reloadable countermeasure devices and the like, but can't find it right now - but I might also remember wrong and it could have been the newer GlobalEye or even the swedish sig-int aircrafts... but speaking of sigint I just saw this 100D is also equipped with a radar detector/receiver to pinpoint enemy radars which could be very useful I guess. (edit: ah probably saw the inside of the slightly larger SAAB 2000 ErieEye plane ruclips.net/video/xpogMKbXv3A/видео.html )
@@SonsOfLorgar Yes, it's just that I asked Combat Ready HQ a couple days earlier if he could make a short video about these planes capabilities, then I remembered I did see a video from inside a plane and the countermeasures specifically but I was unsure if it was the SAAB 340 or the SAAB 2000 airframe, or even the S102 sig-int airplanes...
Sweden has new ones now so that is why Ukraine is getting these older versions, these are very capable and will no doubt help Ukraine a ton! Ukaine already get a lot of early warning but with these they can operate and act on their own, very good stuff!
The population of Sweden = 10.5 million people only, (regarding economy)... Only air to air missiles or air defence can shoot down an aircraft, not long range missiles. Long range missiles can only be used for ground attack.
Very small population but like I said a professional and great military but I am sure they have long range surface to missles that have ranges such as 120km and 500km range plus they could target these while on the found. Thanks for the support and comment
@@CombatReadyHQ True, on the ground possibly (long range missiles). That's why we here in Sweden since 1960, uses STOL fighter aircraft, that are not reliant on air bases. Check the video here on YT: _Gripen dispersed operations_ (English subtitles)
@@-NiEr I don't have an academic or military source on hand for a youtube comment. But the S-500 SAM battery has that type of range. And the S-400 isn't a long way away from that.
I don't think you quite understand the ranges and threats. What this thing can do is circle over kiev and see everything in the air up to moscow. It's not in any danger of being shot down. Even if it was targeted by big boy sams like S-400 (that have a reported range of 400km) it would have over 10minutes to get to safety. If the S-400 fired from max range of course. But there's no reason for an aircraft like this to get anywhere near the combat zone or any kind of danger.
Hopefully, Ukraine can defend these surveillance planes and make the best use of them. Personally, I'm proud that Sweden supports Ukraine with different equipment that they need. We need to stop Russia from expanding like they are trying to do.
These planes will surely operate inside of Ukraine, as far away from the front as possible, that being said, they do have countermeasures to avoid missiles. It is also fairly difficult to hit such a slow target if you can't get a missile lock, as it goes very slowly compared to modern jet fighters. Imagine driving a F1-car, with a gun monted to the front, while dodging incoming missiles from all sides, and you try to hit a truck's engine as you are passing it. You might do some damage, but more than likely you will miss. If there is no missile jamming, or not SAM's or MANPADS targeting you, it will be significatly easier - however all these things are present on the ground in Ukraine. Their mission will likely be to give early warning of incoming missiles and planes, and also coordinate strikes with F16's. The reasonign behind donating these is that Ukraine had no such capability, and this greatly enhances the way they can utilize their new and shiny western military gear.

Generous of Sweden I must say. They also provided Leopard tanks and Archer guns and more.

@@RaXXha No it was approved, but then denied because they wanted to focus on the F-16 since due to training

First step to hand over long range systems to Ukraine- Im so hapy to be a part of this as a Swede..
As A Canadian I am so impressed by Sweden and their (your) many accomplishments for a country of your size. GREAT addition to NATO.
the north will always give help to our fellow countrys no matter what!! sweden finland norway and denmark will always stand up for wichever country in europe
This ones will be behind ground to air defence. So it will most likely be as safe as possible consider the situation
Think they will be used mainly against drones and missiles with this plane , so they get longer notice before so they have a longer time to take them out .
Definitely. Flying low to avoid radar doesn't help much against an airborne radar.
That was a great decision of the Swedes. The surveillance / control aircraft allows Ukraine to operate both their existing Mig-29, SU-27 fleets and the recently commissioned F-16 fleet and their land-based air defence much more effectively.
