Jos neki zanimljivi podaci o sistemu Shmel
Citat:The A-50 was organized around the Shmel (Bumblebee) surveillance system, the core of which was a pulse-Doppler radar with a rotating antenna dome on the back behind the wings, known as a "pogahnka (toadstool)" to crews. The Shmel system also included identification friend or foe (IFF) capabilities and a number of color workstations, with datalinks, including satellite links, providing communications with fighters and other assets, and a mission computer coordinating the whole. The aircraft was littered with other antennas, most prominently in the form of an antenna fairing on the back just forward of the wings, and a finlike antenna on the rear of each landing gear fairing.
The nose glazing of the Il-76 was deleted, replaced with an extended antenna fairing under the nose and a single small window on each side; the tail turret structure was retained, but used to accommodate electronic systems instead of cannon.
A posebno ovo
Citat:The A-50 was fitted with an inflight refueling probe, but reports indicate that the interaction of the slipstream of a tanker with the A-50's radome created such nasty buffeting that inflight refueling demanded special pilot qualification.
