NATO has again deployed Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft to airspace over Poland to monitor the skies over Ukraine, reports the UK Defence Journal.
“Officially, any intelligence gathered is only sent to NATO nations, but everyone knows that some of these nations quickly share the information with Ukraine, enabling them to counter incoming attacks. Western intelligence data offers Ukraine the ability to respond a wee bit quicker,” a former Royal Air Force officer wishing to remain anonymous told the UK Defence Journal.
In response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, NATO has increased its air presence in Eastern Europe with additional fighters, surveillance aircraft, and tankers.
Currently, NATO planes patrol the skies of Ukraine from the airspace of Poland. The deployment of such aircraft on the eastern flank helps strengthen the presence of the military bloc in the region and control Russian military activity, the alliance said.
“Our AWACS can detect aircraft hundreds of kilometers away, making them a key capability for NATO’s deterrence and defense posture,” NATO spokesperson Oana Lungescu had said earlier.
