AWACS was not used by the British forces as the British Government had scrapped the only ships able to carry an AWACS aircraft. Argentina had no AWACS capability.
AWACS stands for Airborne Warning and Control System. It is not a particular type of aircraft, but the equipment it carries.
AWACS is one of many
My brother was an AWACs navigator and died at the age of 40 from thyroid cancer which became carcinomatosis throughout his entire body. he was treated for thyroid cancer but the disease had metastasized to his body. Therre should be an investigation if there are others out there who lost family members while serving their country.

Yes, Chinese do have their kind of AWACS its called the Pak-China Y-8/9. Search it on Google images, you wont get much but there's at least on picture clearly showing it to you.
AWACS is a program set up by the United States Air Force. The program is called the "Airborne Warning and Control System". Boeing is a company that designed aircraft under this program.

The E-3 senty is a useless aircraft. It flys around for a few hours with a bunch of goats, and then lands, usually broken. While in the air, absolutly nothing is accomplished. The awacs should be taken out of service because it is old and useless compared to today's current technology. The only thing the awacs is good for is to waste taxpayer money.
The same as non-Instructor, non-AWACS navigators! Salary is based solely on rank, special pay (ie. flight pay, Basic Allowance for Houising (BAH), Basic Allowance for Subsistance (BAS), etc), and longevity. The military pay tables are publicly available at http:/www.dfas.mil/militarypay/militarypaytables.html.
The AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft typically flies at a cruising speed of about 300 to 350 knots (approximately 345 to 400 miles per hour or 555 to 650 kilometers per hour). The specific speed can vary based on the mission profile and aircraft model, such as the E-3 Sentry or E-7 Wedgetail. These aircraft are designed for long-range surveillance and command and control operations, balancing speed with operational requirements.
