A-50U was more modern than E-3D, not that it matters
>too close
they were in normal patrol areas 200km away from the frontline and 250-300km from air defense units, they detected incoming fire but did not evade in time because those are large, slow, subsonic platforms with limited speeds and descent rates
where do you want to fly instead, at the edge of the lookdown detection range so it contributes absolutely nothing to RAP?
