Indian Defence Minister A. K. Antony (CL) and Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief F.H. Major (CR) walk back after the inspection of the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aeroplane during the induction ceremony of the first AWACS equipped IL-76 aircraft at Air Foce station in New Delhi on May 28, 2009. India is the first country in South Asia to own an AWACS, popularly called 'an eye in the sky'. The plane is equipped with a sophisticated Phalcon early warning radar surveillance system perched on the top of the Russian Ilyushin-76 aircraft and is the first of three units which Israel Aerospace Industries had agreed to sell to India as part of a 2004 deal.
