According to a report by the US “Defense News” on June 28, the US Air Force clearly proposed the cancellation of the E-7 “Wedge-Tail” AWACS procurement plan in the 2026 fiscal year budget. This move marks another impasse in the US Air Force's AWACS upgrade. Although the US Air Force proposed the idea of purchasing naval E-2D early-warning aircraft and using space satellites to replace early-warning aircraft, these measures all have their own flaws and cannot solve the problem of the US Air Force's declining early warning capability.
