[Regnum] One of the two ACS-890 radar reconnaissance aircraft transferred by Sweden was tested in Ukraine. According to the publication "Strana.ua", the test flight took place on April 21 over Lviv.
"The Swedish Ministry of Defense believes that these aircraft will provide Ukraine with completely new capabilities for airborne radar reconnaissance. The ACS-890 is capable of detecting air and sea targets at a distance of up to 400 km," the authors noted.
It is noted that the aircraft has the potential to be integrated into a defensive system along with American F-16 fighters.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, on March 10, the SVF680 aircraft of the Swedish Air Force conducted reconnaissance along the border of the Kaliningrad Region. The aircraft's route is indicated on the Flightradar website, according to which the aircraft departed from the Swedish city of Linköping towards the Polish Gdansk, where it began reconnaissance along the borders of the Kaliningrad Region. It then flew near the Polish-Belarusian border, reached Zamość, located near the border with Ukraine, and turned north.

US announced that the Russian Aerospace Forces received upgraded Su-57 fighters
The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) have received two upgraded Su-57 fighters. This is reported by the American magazine The National Interest (TNI).
The publication specifies that neither Rostec nor the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) officially announced the deliveries of the fighters. At the same time, photographs of two aircraft with the identification marks "Red 25" and "Red 26" were distributed online. Based on these numbers, the publication assumed that these Su-57s had just rolled off the assembly line.
"Visible new markings indicate that these are newly built aircraft, possibly part of an effort to scale up production. The aircraft spotted this week are from newer series, featuring improved avionics and design features," the publication says.
It is also specified that Russia continues to produce fifth-generation fighters, despite active attempts by the West to limit production.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 29, the Rostec press service reported that the Russian troops received the first batch of Su-35S fighters in 2025. The state corporation also reported that the fighters had passed a full cycle of factory tests, were accepted by the technical staff and tested in various operating modes by Defense Ministry pilots.
At the end of December 2024, UAC also manufactured and transferred new batches of Su-57 fighters and Su-34 frontline bombers to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov previously noted that the state corporation's aircraft manufacturing enterprises are rhythmically supplying the Russian army with aircraft equipment, and the Su-57 and Su-34 aircraft transferred to the troops will soon take their place in service.
