Footage reportedly showing a SAM slamming into a Russian A-50 AEW&C aircraft over the Sea of Azov, 23 Feb 2024.
2 possible options at this point based on claims- 1. There’s a Russian SAM battery operating near the Sea of Azov effectively treating Russian aircraft as enemy targets 2. Ukrainian air defenses are now able to down aircraft operating roughly 200km (124 miles) behind the front.

Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye – Eye in the Sky
The E-2 Hawkeye is a small airborne early warning aircraft that serves the US Navy in possibly the most critical role. This outstanding machine has been transferred to various armed forces and is known as the 'Hummer' due to the unusual sound of the turboprop engines.
With Airborne Early Warning (AEW) capability, the E-1 Tracer was introduced to the US Navy in the mid-1950s, with an extremely bulbous teardrop-shaped device perched atop the wings of a short, stubby aircraft.
While this appeared unique, it gave tactical combat data to other US carrier-based aircraft. Essentially, it was a flying radar system.
Shortly after the E-1's release, the military saw the potential of the capacity to gather important information and keep one step ahead of the enemy Shortly after the E-1 was introduced, a requirement for its replacement was established: the E-2 Hawkeye.
Endurance is crucial for these types of aircraft. The E-2 was required to have a 6-hour endurance, hence fuel efficiency was one of the major priorities.
Two Rolls Royce T56-A-427 turboprop engines each producing 5,100 shaft horsepower (3,800 kW) were used to do this.
The E-2 can reach a high speed of 400 mph (650 km/h) and has a range of over 1,600 miles thanks to these powerful and fuel-efficient engines.
Four years after the E-1, the E-2 prototype flew for the first time, and the E-2A entered the US Navy in 1964.

18th March 1945. First flight of the Douglas AD/A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft. Rugged, long ranged and able to carry up to 8,000lbs of ordnance, it arrived too late for the Second World War. Skyraiders saw extensive use in Korea, and despite being gradually replaced by jets, continued into service in Vietnam.
Pictured:
1) Prototype XBT2D-1. The aircraft was optimised from the outset for ground attack, with a long loiter time, armour protection and the largest possible payload.

2) An AD-4 Skyraider of (VA) 65 launches from the carrier Philippine Sea for a combat mission over Korea in 1951. It was during the Korean War that the Skyraider solidified its reputation as one of the finest attack and close air support aircraft ever built, though over 100 were lost in combat.

3) A number of Skyraider variants were developed, including an Airborne Early Warning (AEW) platform. These were used by the Royal Navy before the arrival of the Fairey Gannet in 1960. The same AN/APS-20 radars from the Skyraiders were first used by their replacements, then on the Shackleton AEW.2 until 1991! In this photo, the first aircraft are being delivered in Glasgow, November 1951.

4) Although US Navy Skyraiders flew their last mission over Vietnam in early 1968, the ‘Spad’ continued in operation with the USAF until 1972, covering Search and Rescue missions. This aircraft, pictured in June 1970, is carrying a typical mixed load of gunpods, rockets and bombs in addition to the 4x20mm wing guns. Incredibly, Skyraiders shot down two MiG 17s, but 266 were lost, almost all to ground fire.
