Australia has announced its decision to withdraw its RAAF E-7A Wedgetail AWACS aircraft, which was deployed in October for six months to monitor threats and aid supply routes for Ukraine, following a US request. Concurrently, Australia is enhancing its support for Ukraine by joining an international drone coalition led by the United Kingdom and Latvia. This coalition aims to provide drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with Defense Minister Richard Marles making the announcement alongside UK Minister of Defense Grant Shapps. The E-7 Wedgetail aircraft, capable of detecting various threats at long ranges of over 400 Km, is currently operating close to the Ukrainian border.
