What will be a significantly advanced capability on the RAFs former E-3 Sentry’s, which will be a vital force multiplier. However I feel just 3 E-7 Mk.1 AWACS, is a ridiculously inadequate number given that RAF will almost certainly require at least 1 or 2 aircraft to be operationally deployable at any given time.
Yet there will be no tolerance for OCU Training Rotations or scheduled Maintenance cycles, let alone any potential losses due to attrition. Therefore, I feel given the strategic climate we are now facing with the likes of Russia and the Middle East kicking off, the RAF should operate a minimum fleet of 9 E-7 Wedgetails.
UK P-8s and E-7s working together is an additional force multiplier
who's bright idear is it to have all our early warning aircraft based at the same airfield
Well if it is as efficient as a real wedge tail, eating my lambs, against the enemy it will be real good.

Hope they don’t fall from the sky like other Boeing products — should,ve gone Airbus.
Designed in Australia and in service with RAAF since 2006.
As with all these video's, the narrator repeats it's self over and over and over again…
It can tell the millionaire penthouse dwellers in the capital when a Russia cruise is winging its way up the Thames?😂
Friendly Anyface.
lets hope someone checks the workmanship and the f***ing doors when it arrives from Boing !
Six minutes of repeating the first two.
Now all we need is a version that can take off and land on our aircraft carriers.
Need more than three airframes, I would have thought the same numbers as the RAAF would be a better idea (6 atrcraft I think).

The crew really wished it was an Airbus type!
