Sweden to deliver Tridon Mk2 air defence systems to Ukraine

Sweden will provide Ukraine with mobile Tridon Mk2 air defence systems to strengthen protection against attack drones, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced on Telegram.

The Swedish government will allocate €400 million for the purchase of the systems, nearly a third of February’s military aid package to Ukraine. 

Introduced in 2024, the Tridon Mk2 features a 40mm Bofors 40 Mk4 autocannon, capable of engaging targets up to 12 km away at a rate of up to 300 rounds per minute. One of its key advantages is the relatively low cost per shot.
