The A-50 is an early-warning derivative of the Ilyushin Il-76 transport and first flew in 1978. Its US counterpart is the E-3. The airframe bristles with a vast array of antennas, the most notable of which is the saucer like radome mounted on pylons above the fuselage. This radar antenna spans almost 30 feet across and has a detection range of 250 miles. It can track up to 60 separate targets and guide 12 fighter aircraft simultaneously. The fuselage is loaded with communication and control systems with consoles for 10 mission specialists.
