India to buy three A-50 early warning and control aircraft aircraft from Russia

16 August 2014

India is reported to be planning to buy three airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) A-50 aircraft from Russia.

"India is mulling possible delivery of another three AEW&C aircraft, talks are on now," a source in the Russian governmental military and industrial commission said on Friday without specifying a timeline planned for a deal.

AEW&C A-50 aircraft are used to detect and track air targets and surface vessels, warn automated systems of command posts and to control airplanes in sighting.

In 2003, India ordered for three such aircraft and the contract was fulfilled in 2010.

The delivery of AEW&C aircraft is planned "in the same configuration" as under the agreement in 2003, he said.
