Ukraine’s Air Force is about to get a serious boost, thanks to Denmark’s TERMA A/S. These are the same folks who keep NATO’s F-16s alive when missiles start flying, and now Ukraine is looking to bolt that technology onto not just its incoming Western jets, but its aging Soviet-era fleet as well.
In this video, I break down what TERMA actually makes, like the ALQ-213 Electronic Warfare Management System, PIDS+ pylons, and advanced missile warning sensors, and why they matter. If you’re flying a MiG-29 or Su-25 today, survival isn’t about raw speed or armor anymore; it’s about electronic warfare. TERMA gives Ukrainian pilots the tools to outlast Russian SAMs, air-to-air missiles, and radar locks.
Denmark isn’t trying to turn old Soviet fighters into stealth jets. But a MiG-29 with Danish avionics is no longer an easy mark. A Su-25 with TERMA’s countermeasures suddenly has a fighting chance at low altitude. And Ukraine’s Su-27s? They finally get the digital backbone they need to face Russian Su-35s.
The bigger story is that TERMA has already opened an office in Ukraine. That means this isn’t just a one-off upgrade; it’s the start of embedding Western aerospace expertise directly into Ukraine’s defense industry. It’s sustainability, not just survival.
Russia’s layered air defenses have been its ace for decades. But every time a Ukrainian pilot dodges a missile because of Danish tech, that aura of invincibility fades. TERMA may just help Ukraine keep its Air Force flying—and that changes the entire battlefield equation.
Stick around, I’ll walk you through how these upgrades work, what they mean for the future of Ukraine’s Air Force, and why Russia should be worried.
