India became the first and only nation in the South Asian region to have 'Eyes in the Sky'.Indian Air Force acquired the AWACS (Airborne Early Warning and Control System) with the Israeli made Phalcon arriving at the Jamnagar airbase.This is a major strategic boost fot the Air Force.The system is the first of three to be inducted in the Air Force.The remaining two AWACS are expected to be delivered by the year end.AWACS would help detect incoming flying weapons and alsolisten into aerial communications.With its ability to detect aircrafts, cruise missiles and other flying objects at ranges far greater than is possible through existing systems, the AWACS can also collate surface information about troop movements and missile launches even while "listening-in" to highly confidential communications .AWACS has a range of approximately 800 kms.This renders the entire Pakistan and forward parts of China in it's range
The bottom line : India will know whenever anything larger than a kite flies over a house anywhere in Pakistan !
