Tactics
 
The AWACS flies close to the enemy lines, once in position the Radar Dome is detached and flown into theatre by remote control (just like a drone). It remains there until the fuel demands it's return whereby it is flown back to the AWACS mother ship and then 'docked' back on board (a tricky process). This keeps the crew safe from harm. :O:O:O

What's stupid is the censoring of this particular URL, when it is so easy to circumvent.

Read Clancy's "Debt of Honour" if you want some imaginative hypothetical AEW&C......

C4ISR,

Your spanish-speaking cousins offer an AWACS tactical sim, even for Ipad :-)

I think we probably ought to let the OP off for the weekend ... whether it was a serious question or not, I think the assorted answers have sufficed.


Dead Horses should NEVER be flogged. ;)
