The only exception is the recent arrival of the Swedish-made Saab 340 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) aircraft, but its contribution in the grand scheme of things is rather questionable. It should be noted that the “Flankers” operated by the Neo-Nazi junta forces were inherited from the USSR and have undergone very limited upgrades, unlike the Su-27s used by the VKS, which operates quite advanced variants such as the SM2/SM3. Ukrainian pilots can do very little (if anything) to escape Russian long-range missiles such as the R-37M or many SAMs used by the S-400, particularly if they’re paired with aircraft for easier detection, regardless of whether it’s the A-50 or Su-35S.
