Dlo Saab 340 AEW&C aircraft noticed over Lviv region: the Armed Forces were outraged

To spread: In the sky above the Lviv region, on April 21, the flight of the aircraft of a long -range radar detection and management of SAAB 340 AEW & C was watched. It is not excluded that he was confused with the Soviet An-26KPA. Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reported one of the first flights of the aircraft provided by Sweden by Sweden. According to him, over the Lviv region today was circling a aircraft of a long radar detection.

Its functions include finding targets up to 450 kilometers, air defense systems, aviation support and sea control. The Ukrainian military was outraged by publications on social networks about this fact. "And na *** I to publish that?" - asked the Lieutenant of the Armed Forces with the call sign "Alex". At the same time, the Telegram-channel of Ukrainian OSINT Exilenova investigators refutes data on the patrol of the Saab 340 AEW & C aircraft in Lviv region.

The flight route indicates the typical operation of the An-26KPA aircraft developed in the USSR or a similar type that was checked and calibrated by aeronautical equipment, the team said. The Swedish aircraft Dlo is equipped with Erieye Aesa radar, so it detects air and marine targets at such a long distance. The radar viewing angle is 150 degrees on both sides. The transfer of two aircraft Dralo became known in May 2024.

The duration of continuous patrol on SAAB 340 AEW & C is up to 5 hours, with a 3 -person crew. The maximum speed of the aircraft is 530 km/h. Similar planes are in the army of Thailand, and since March 2024 - in Poland. We will remind, in Belize shot the veteran of the US Army, who wounded two passengers and threatened the pilot of the aircraft. The kidnave managed to take the aircraft under control. Focus has already wrote how a woman's pilot for the first time in Poland's history was a woman.
