🟢 Military Procurement | 4/10 🇺🇸 USAF plans to purchase E-7A Wedgetail aircraft The United States Air Force has announced plans to acquire five Boeing E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft. This decision adds to an existing contract for two prototypes of this type. Consequently, the total number of ordered aircraft will reach seven units. At the same time, the U.S. military department has adjusted its earlier intentions regarding a larger-scale replacement of the airborne early warning and control fleet. The new approach involves a more gradual modernization of the fleet rather than a single large-scale procurement. #OSINT #NewsGroup #USAF #E7AWedgetail #MilitaryProcurement #USA
