Entered the office and declared they will set up their base on the territory. All factory personnel refused to cooperate and went home.

with AWACS or working ground radar system support will works - 29's is carrying pulse-doppler radar, it means locating targets flying in ground clutter is theoretically possible - with underscore of "theoretically". Because of weather KOLS system (thermolocator) may be more effective than radar but still within limited range. Considering short legs of -29 guidance support is rather necessary.Can they be effective against low flying cruise missiles, what do you think?
Possibly because those same people never knew freedom of speech or press.
