All these states were supposed to transfer these aircraft to Kyiv, so it is not known from which of these countries the aircraft was demonstrated.</p> <p>The system enables the aircraft to detect and counter missiles in advance. The MWS consists of six sensors and one computer. Three sensors are mounted on each of the two pylons, their arrangement provides almost complete spherical coverage around the aircraft.</p> <p>The computer is mounted on the right pylon.
