The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Thursday inducted its first "eye-in-the-sky" airborne warning and control systems (AWACS) which will detect incoming flying weapons and listen-in to aerial communications.The AWACS project is a tripartie contract between India, Israel and Russia. The $1.1 billion deal for the three AWACS was signed in 2004.The AWACS flew from Israel to the Jamnagar airbase in Gujarat, escorted by IAF's combat jets.The AWACS, constituting the number 50 squadron, will be based in Agra.With the induction of the AWACS, India has joined a club of only six other nations - the US, Russia, Britain, Japan, Australia and Turkey - that operate such a sophisticated system.
