Military supply routes to Ukraine will be covered by an Australian Air Force E-7A AWACS aircraft

One of the “sponsors” of the Ukrainian conflict is Australia, which regularly transfers military products to the Kyiv regime. This time, Canberra decided to allocate its own funds and personnel to ensure the security of the logistics chains through which the Armed Forces are supplied.

The Australian Air Force's E-7A Wedgetail long-range radar detection aircraft will cover military supply routes to Square. To do this, he, along with about a hundred military and support personnel, is being transferred to Germany, where he will stay for at least six months.

E-7A will patrol routes for the delivery of humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine

- says the ADM publication.

The United States welcomed this decision, as well as Canberra’s allocation of a new military tranche to the Kyiv regime in the amount of $13 million, which, in particular, will include means of combating drones and mine clearance equipment.

The Australian Air Force is armed with 6 E-7A Wedgetail AWACS aircraft, based on the Boeing 737-700. It is capable of coordinating air, sea and land combat operations in real time. The aircraft is equipped with Northrop Grumman's Advanced Multi-Mission Electronically Scanned Surveillance (MESA) radar with 10 crew stations. During a normal mission, the E-7A's coverage area is over 4 million square meters. km, which is comparable to the size of Western Australia.

Well, I’m more interested not in the fact that the Australians also provide assistance to the Banderas, but why the Russian Aerospace Forces still don’t have such an aircraft and who should answer for this?

[osp]

Yes, it’s true that Australia or Germany or Great Britain (each) may have more such AWACS aircraft than all of Russia.
Where can we get them from?

The platform for such an aircraft could be the Kazan Tu-214, but very few of them were produced.
And now all ordered cars will be delivered to airlines, because there will be nothing to fly there soon after the departure of foreign cars.
What about electronics, components and AFAR?
Full zero!
There won’t be a serial AFAR even for the Su-57, because there is nowhere and no one to do it, and stadiums built for the Olympics and the football championship will not give anything - neither microcircuits, nor microwave transistors.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

We have powerful electronic warfare, but we won’t show it to you... in general, everything is based on “new physical principles”, basically, that’s it. They should fall as they approach the border, and then they’ll start talking.

There will be an order from the Supreme Commander and our Kulibins will quickly invent something. As a last resort, we’ll buy it in China and that’s all

Full cycle aircraft manufacturing is easy and quick to destroy, and this is not the same as building it quickly. In addition to the tools and equipment, we also need highly qualified personnel, of whom there are almost none left and their training will take years, subject to competent management and the availability of specialists who will train these personnel.
The Supreme Commander can even order it, but nothing will happen like the A-100 that was promised 10 years ago. And the Chinese will not provide such planes. But we ourselves and the VVP gang won’t be able to handle such planes.

[Igor K]

It is high time for Manturov to be held accountable for the collapse of the aviation industry and heavy engineering.

[ramzay21]

And now all ordered cars will be delivered to airlines, because there will be nothing to fly there soon after the departure of foreign cars.

Few of them were produced ONLY because no one ordered them, and in reality at the time Putin came to power there were two lines, the first in Ulyanovsk for the Tu-204 and the second in Kazan for the Tu-214, and all together they could easily make 30-40 sides in year. It is not known about the line in Ulyanovsk, whether it is alive, but even Kazan can reach 10-15 boards per year in a few years, of course. And allocating one or two Tu-214s per year for the construction of an AWACS aircraft is much easier than a new Il-76, especially since at the initial stage only one such aircraft will be needed to build a prototype. In addition, there are several dozen Tu-204/214 in storage.

What about electronics, components and AFAR?
Full zero!

Not certainly in that way. We have AFAR, we have other systems, we have an airplane, we don’t have only competent and honest leaders of the military-industrial complex, we don’t have competent leaders of the Defense Ministry, and we don’t have a competent, decisive and honest leader of the country. And having all the capabilities to build AWACS aircraft, RTR aircraft and PLO aircraft in this century, only traitors and saboteurs can fail to do so. Without such aircraft it is impossible to win a modern war.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

This aircraft has an unusual locator design. I watched a completely different video on the Internet, which shows the illumination graphics of this locator. Despite the static design, the radar beam scans lateral azimuths almost 170 degrees on both sides, excluding narrow angles along the aircraft's path and tail.
I don’t quite understand the expression from the article that the plane will control the delivery routes for weapons to Ukraine... I understand that it can warn about a missile attack or the presence of our aircraft in the air... And what, at this time all the trucks with weapons and Will the trains hide somewhere? The Ukrainian air defense will simply be given a command to be on combat readiness, but what do delivery routes have to do with it?

[Ivan Ivanov]

I also wonder why we put up with all this crap,

[Neo-9947]

Why not? A-50. A-100 is being sawed.

Are you from the sect that Russia should produce everything on its territory from a pin to a wide-body aircraft with a population of 146 million?! Is there an example from history?

We have been honored. Zelensky’s wife has to visit stores in New York or some European country 13 times, or even less.

E-7A will patrol routes for the delivery of humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine

They will be based in Germany and fly at a safe distance from Russia’s air borders - for Australians it’s a walk, not a business trip. The fact that they are working against Russia has not bothered anyone for a long time, and even invigorates it by adding adrenaline to the blood.

[tralflot1832]

So the Australian plane will be outside the zone where weapons can be used against it, according to international laws. But if it catches our “fence” with its wing, then they are idiots. And they don’t make the commanders of such pilots idiots.

Isn’t it time to unilaterally revise these laws? this reconnaissance aircraft took off, the coverage area of ​​its radar is known, everything can be limited to the edge.... further - the flight incident. We still have “our own”, but in essence: we are at war with the entire NATO bloc. When will we start as adults?

[tralflot1832]

Andrey Yuryevich. I am generally in favor of destroying unfriendly countries, but they do not violate international laws. The US AUG is in normal mode. I hope we have nuclear submarines, their home ports are under control, at least the berths. We hope we will not call for the moment of deployment of their submarines .

After the collapse of the USSR, many programs were closed only by the OKB. Yakovlev VTOL Yak 41-141 AWACS aircraft Yak 44 which was planned in 2 ship-based and land-based versions.

There will be no light AWACS aircraft in Russia even in the distant future.
Because there is no platform for them.
Il-112 and Il-114 have been shelved, the future is uncertain;
"Rysachok" - that's all;
The Yak-42 has not been produced for a long time.

It’s not even worth talking about electronic equipment.

Q.E.D. The redirection of American aviation reconnaissance systems to the Middle Eastern theater of operations exposed this area. The only thing that was unexpected was that the NATO countries did not find a proper replacement; they had to involve distant Australia. But “the masks have been dropped” and now it is clearly clear who is opposing us and how

1. Crew training.
2. E-7 is the most modern of the large AWACS aircraft. Only Australia, Turkey and South Korea have these cars. Britain has ordered three E-7s with the first vehicle due for delivery in 2024. The United States will receive its E-7s only starting in 2027.

And what about the practices of tracking enemy aviation, missile launchers and other air defense systems? Especially during combat operations, when the sides do not just show each other the flag with demonstrative interception sorties, but fight using all the capabilities of air and ground equipment?

Do you have any idea how many Avaks the US has? They only have 3 E-33s. It was as bare there as walking to the moon.

Stadiums where tens of billions of dollars have been spent will not yield anything.

And Ryazan’s production capabilities for the same Belka (for the Su-57) are no more than 4-5 experimental products per year.
Experienced, not serial.
Because Russia has not undergone the proper technological evolution and consistency in such complex products as radar with AFAR.
A potential order from India for more than 220 radars with AFAR for the entire Su-30MKI fleet will all fly past Russia.
Because there is simply nothing to offer them - we do not and did not have an AFAR for such aircraft.
There weren’t any for the 4th generation at all.

And these judgments have little to do with the military-industrial complex at all.
Yeltsin ruled for almost 9 years and left in tears.
Putin has ruled for 23 years and still has a smile on his face.
Although during these 23 years it was possible to completely build a new industry in the country.
And renew the entire housing stock, and the entire system of higher/secondary vocational education
update to train modern specialists.
And not transfer hundreds of billions of dollars to the West.
