AWACS is not a spy plane! It's a an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar system designed to detect aircraft, ships, vehicles, missiles, and other incoming projectiles at long ranges and perform command and control of the battlespace in an air engagement by directing fighter and attack aircraft strikes. AEW&C units are also used to carry out surveillance, including over ground targets and frequently perform BMC2 (battle management command and control). When used at altitude, the radar on the aircraft allows the operators to detect and track targets and distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft much farther away than a similar ground-based radar.

in layman's terms, it's a "realtime spy" plane that could do surveillance and order attacks at oncoming threats at the same time.

The E-3 does come with special radio listening equipment which it can use to intercept and locate a wide array of radio transmissions, so I don't think it's inaccurate to call it a "spy plane"

Both are AWACS just different radar configs. Either LW or SR, Doppler or static all radar types and detections don’t matter it’s still classified as an AWAC

@@nmspy My comment is about the aircraft. It is a Be-50, based on the Il-76. A totally different aircraft as the B-707, of which the E-3 series was derived from. So, totally different aircraft, roughly the same task. Telling the viewers that they see an E-3? 🙄

I live next to an air force base and they have the AWACs patrolling all the time. The only time they do not patrol is when it's blizzard conditions or severe weather.

I remember after the 2001 terrorist attacks, an AWACS plane was seen over my county and people were calling 911 to report the weird plane. I knew immediately what it was from the description. I called the nearest ATC, which was 30 miles away. They didn't even know about it. They finally got confirmation from the USAF base, 100 miles away, that they'd deployed it.
