EA-1308 "Anaconda" AWACS

The EA-1308 Anaconda is an AWACS air craft built in Venezuela, and used by the Royal Air Force of Europa. It began in 2002 by Escadar Armory, and finished in production 2003. It was built with stealth technology, and is able to fire an EMP into the surrounding area. It was one of the most used aircraft ever built by a Venezuelan company. In 2011, to lower military upkeep, all EA-1308s were sold to the Kingdom of Europa

Background

The Anaconda was a project that would help the Venezuelan Air Force know what is coming their way earlier. It also was an update for the outdated AWACS aircraft the Air Force was using at that time. It was given stealth technology and a secret EMP Emitter that would fire an EMP in the surrounding area that would destroy electronic systems. In 2011, the entire collection of Anaconda were sold to the RAFE.

Design

The Anaconda was designed to seem like a business jet to maintain covert operations. It can serve as a transport for VIP and other high level assets of Europa. It can go speeds of Mach 1 and up, but is maintained solely a Mach 1 to keep up with the fighter jets that escort it.
