The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has withdrawn its Boeing E-7A Wedgetail airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft that had been deployed to Europe to help oversee military and humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine.

The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) announced on 2 April that the aircraft had completed its planned six-month deployment out of Ramstein Air Base in Germany, from where it had since July 2023 supported the flow of military and humanitarian assistance into Ukraine.

“An [RAAF] E-7A Wedgetail aircraft will commence its return to Australia this week after a six-month deployment on Operation ‘Kudu',” the DoD said. “The E-7A aircraft supported the multinational effort to provide early warning for potential threats from Russia outside of Ukraine.”

As the DoD noted, over its six-month tour, the E-7A Wedgetail contingent flew around 250 hours with missions averaging five hours in the air.
