Sweden will supply Ukraine with modern Tridon Mk2 air defense systems. According to Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, the new systems are expected to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses in countering strike drones and other aerial threats.

The Swedish government will allocate €400 million for the procurement of Tridon Mk2 systems - nearly a third of the military aid package for Ukraine announced in February.

Thank you, Sweden! 🇸🇪 🇺🇦

Tridon Mk2 is capable of operating in all weather conditions, day and night. One of its advantages is the relatively low cost per shot.

The system is equipped with a 40 mm Bofors 40 Mk4 automatic cannon, capable of engaging targets at distances of up to 12 km and firing up to 300 rounds per minute. If necessary, the rate of fire can be reduced to 200 rounds per minute, helping save ammunition and adapt the system to specific combat tasks.

The gun uses programmable airburst munitions. These detonate just before reaching the target, creating a cloud of fragments that increases effectiveness against drones and cruise missiles.

Tridon Mk2 can be mounted on various platforms, including BvS 10 tracked armored all-terrain vehicles and Scania trucks. The system can be easily integrated with different chassis.
