The UC-22 Lancaster is a family of STOL Utility/Multi-Mission Turboprop Aircraft made by Dornier and Astraeus Corporation. It includes the new Eye-Spy camera by Relocan Systems, an upgraded engine (only the D variant), and a sensor extension (next to the camera). Because of its versatility and STOL capabilities, the Intercontinental Defense Treaty Organization (IDTO) has bought 37 of them in all 4 variants. This specific aircraft is the UD-22D of the 14th Multi-Mission Squadron based at MNB (Multi National Base) Antoria. It first saw use in the 2015 Kalingrad (Russia) Border Conflict in which the UC-22 was used to transport troops, jam enemy radars, and guard the border of Kalingrad.
