And here you were downplaying SAAB system of PAF for having 240 deg coverage system and a decade later you are buying the same...
WE know the blind spot of our system and its strength. It was the right tool for the right job at the right price sans sanction
27 years.... yes we are getting old
IAF had a bad experience with its Russian based hardware against PAF in the last skirmish in Kashmir. The magazine claims IAF had to play catch up against PAF whose Saab AEWC had greater situational awareness against IAF.
India Dumps Russian IL-76A-50EI AEW&C And Opt-in European Options
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), a state-run defence company, will convert six unspecified aircraft operated by Air India (AI, Mumbai Int’l) into airbo…www.globaldefensecorp.com
If I am not wrong same Russian platform was fitted with 'Phalcon' system from Israel. Almost every Indian was optimistic at that time and celebrating that now PAF won't be able to take-off from their basis. So the time has proven they were totally wrong. Al-hamd-o-lillah, PAF proved it's mettle one again.

Erieye covers 300 degrees not 240 you can check saab‘s promotional video on YouTube for the reference

but that is a current system like erieye!
the basis of global eye is the mainstream Ericsson antenna and the thing that make global eye is components from leonardo which Pakistan can get from Italy.

Even Better. Just telling what Endians have been crying about. PHALCON having jet engines, flying higher, longer, 360 deg coverage, longer range more powerful system ETC ETC....
ERIEYE is serving its designated purpose to the full

That article was in 1993, Erieye was not even around than,
Users of Phalcon = India
Users of Erieye = Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Greece, Saudia Arabia, UAE, Thailand, Pakistan
Go figure....
unlikely flat panel project is separate to this one, it will be a fixed radome comparable to Phalcon in performance...
Indian equivalence of swedish system is netra with flat panel...

technically, Erieye is inferior to PHALCON but you have quantity advantage as of now.
