Well lets face it what purpose have they got for now in todays climate , do we need Airborne early warning?
Rather than cut down the red arrors we have the MOD cutting the AWACS that does nothing really
good move and for once a good decision
All i seen in the gulf was the awacs fleet transiting through on there way to excercises in India/ malaysia in nice hotels while others suffer the crap , also nice dets to red flag and all that . If the AWACS done a real job (and not even in the carribean can they do that ) then they might be considered by the rest of the air force to have a case, now the C17 is here they not the golden balls of the RAF now
