Consequences and countermeasures of the delivery of the ASC-890 air defence and surveillance aircraft to the AFU #info #AWACS #A50 #SAM #F16
As it became known a few hours earlier, within the framework of the 16th and largest ‘package’ of military-technical assistance (13.3 billion Swedish kronor), the Swedish Defence Ministry announced the delivery and integration of ASC-890 aircraft into the air defence system of the AFU. Swedish defence announced the delivery and integration of a pair of ASC-890 ASC-890 long-range radar detection and control aircraft equipped with PS-890 ‘Erieye’ high-energy 2-sided AESA radars, capable of operating in both air-to-air and surface radar reconnaissance modes with the ability to detect SAM launchers and illumination radars, as well as SLBM launchers.
Functioning in the decimetre S-band, the 400 receiving and transmitting modules of the PS-890 AFAR radars provide detection of air targets with a RCS of 3 square metres at a distance of about 350 km, while targets with a RCS of 0.02 square metres (equivalent to strategic cruise missiles X-101) at a distance of about 110 km.
Thus, the PS-890 radar operators of the ASC-890 aircraft will be able to issue target designations to NASAMS, SAMP-T, IRIS-T SLM and Patriot PAC-3MSE air defence control points to intercept X-101, X-69, Onyx and X-59MK cruise missiles beyond the radio horizon via secure radio channels of the Link-16 tactical network.
Furthermore, these AWACS aircraft can provide targeting guidance to F-16AM crews to use AIM-120D long-range air-to-air missiles against our tactical aircraft operating outside the range of the obsolete AN/APG-66(V)2 airborne radars installed on the F-16AM. Thus, the enemy will be able to employ the AIM-120D even without engaging the electronic jamming targeting mode.
This means that even a pair of this type of aircraft can increase the anti-missile potential of the AFU's mixed air defence brigades by an order of magnitude.
Ground objects such as the Iskander-M or 5P85SM-2 launchers of the S-400 systems can be detected at a distance of about 230-250 kilometres, after which the ATACMS missile systems can be tasked with target designation.
Consequently, the key task of the Russian air force and air defence forces is to destroy ASC-890 ASW aircraft in advance as soon as they are deployed in their bases the Ukrainian theater.
Once on the air, defeat can be carried out by 40N6 and 9M82MD/MV anti-aircraft guided missiles of S-400 and S-300V4 systems at a distance of 380 - 400 km.

The most important part of the attacks are the A-50s.
I have already spoken about them extensively in 2023 when aircraft were lost in service. (use the hashtag #A50 FOR THAT I PUT THEM)
But the A-50s that appear in the Ivanovo videos are not active.
This is easily recognisable by the poor condition of the antenna and the red star on the tail, which is not the star used by the Russian Air Force (which is tri-color). These are some of the aircraft that have been parked there since the fall of the Soviet Union and are being used for parts.
Image one shows the area of the attack in 2019.
This can be clearly seen in images 2 and 3.
The fourth image is for comparison with the A-50U in service.
As with the Tu-22, Russia operates fewer A-50Us than the originally manufactured A-50s, with the others being used for parts.
As for the A-50s, they cannot be brought back into active service quickly, as the bottleneck in the manufacture of the A-50Us is the electronics. Renovating one is basically like making a new one, which is why the losses in 2023 were so painful.
