SOVIET AIRCRAFT WARNING AND CONTROL
There is evidence that the Soviets are developing an Airborne
Warning and Control (AWAC) aircraft. The logical aircraft for this
mission is tale TU-11~+/C:T. adoy ted for this rol

These figures represent a maximum capability for this aircraft
projected from evidence available on current prototypes.
The CIA member believes these perform. ce characteristics are
too high for the model that will actually be produced, and
without subsequent redesign, these per ormances may ..ever be
achieved. He believes that the maximum gross weight will be
about 450,000 pounds.
