According to the UK Defense Magazine portal, members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) share with the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) data collected during flights of aircraft equipped with the AWACS (airborne early warning and control) system.

“ Officially, any intelligence gathered is only sent to NATO members, but it is well known that some of these members quickly share that information with Ukraine, allowing them to repel impending attacks ,” said a retired British Air Force officer. This sharing gives Ukraine more time to react to Russian air strikes.

Most of NATO's "flying radars" operate in Polish airspace. However, patrol routes also extend to the whole of Eastern Europe and part of the Baltic Sea.

NATO sends reconnaissance planes to Ukraine border immediately after Euromaidan

NATO’s plans to deploy AWACS aircraft to the border with Ukraine were first reported in 2014, shortly after Euromaidan. Then, the North Atlantic Alliance representative noted that the reconnaissance flights “will last as long as necessary.” This will contribute to expanding the alliance’s warning capabilities about the situation in Ukraine and Crimea.

The next AWACS deployment was in 2023, almost a year after the start of Russia’s special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine. A group of three AWACS aircraft were deployed from Geilenkirchen, Germany, to Romania’s Otopeni air base, near Bucharest. Their mission was to monitor Russian military aviation in the region, especially in Ukrainian airspace.

Two more NATO AWACS aircraft were sent to the Lithuanian city of Siauliai in September 2023. NATO explains that the AWACS system is capable of detecting aircraft and missiles hundreds of kilometers away, making it an important early warning tool for NATO.
