ACCREDITATION:

[AceofAces]

Also, the E-767s were doing the jammer role, not the AWACS role. When the furballs of Su-47s appear, just like in Blind Spot, the E-767s generate fake signatures of the enemies on your radar. Also, the 8492nd could be put in the enemies section, since they 'betray' you and were never really your allies to begin with, since their real name is the Grabacr squad and they're Belkans.

[Green Giant]

The E-767s were can perform a dual role. jammer/AWACS. That's their function.

[AceofAces]

True. But nobody knows if they were actually doing AWACS for Belka, we only know they were jamming.

You can can probably assume they were operating as an AWACS for Belka to ensure the area was clear of all other aircraft except the Wardog and Grabacr.

That makes sense.

[Traben]

I'm not sure they would need more than one craft in the airspace to perform an AWACS role. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do we ever see enemy AWACS in Belka?

Now, the Enemy AWACS supporting the 8492 Squadron in the 8492 Mission are, I believe Belkan.l
