Nato’s AWACS planes Deployed to Moldova Conduct air Surveillance Missions



Regular patrols are conducted by Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft over eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea region in order to monitor Russian warplanes in close proximity to Nato borders. Nato currently possesses a fleet of fourteen AWACS aircraft, all of which have been retrofitted from Boeing 707 models. At an altitude of approximately 10km, a solitary AWACS has the capacity to survey the airspace within a 400km radius.
