The Dish: A High-Speed Patrol Aircraft
The Dish is a cutting-edge patrol aircraft designed for high-speed reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Its unique disk-shaped body is dominated by a large radome, which houses a powerful long-range radar system. This advanced technology enables the Dish to detect and identify targets at extended ranges, making it an invaluable asset for military operations.
