E-3 Sentry Surveillance And Early Warning 'Spy Plane'

The Boeing E-3 Sentry, commonly known as AWACS, is an American airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by Boeing. Derived from the Boeing 707, it provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications, and is used by the United States Air Force, NATO, Royal Air Force, French Air Force, and Royal Saudi Air Force. The E-3 is distinguished by the distinctive rotating radar dome above the fuselage. Production ended in 1992 after 68 aircraft had been built.

In my opinion and above all curiosity; is this the World most dangerous military airplane(?), and if the USA would have an decrease of military force of aproximadetly up to max 10%, if it wouldn't operate(?).

Do these still use a turbofan engine, or still the old turbojet?
