Wrong. We had 4 with Radars and one for training.One got smoked and 2 were damaged during the Kamra Attack. The damaged ones were recovered a d PAF bought a supplementary Radar and equipment along with another Saab plane 029. Now what happens subsequently is anyones guess but the price for these is really good.We had four erieyes 3 were with radars and one just Saab 2000?.now all are operational
The Pakistan Air Force chief, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman, told AFM in late April that the air arm is set to receive three new Saab 2000 Erieye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft. The first will be delivered in December and the remaining pair will arrive next year.Wrong. We had 4 with Radars and one for training.One got smoked and 2 were damaged during the Kamra Attack.

that still not much its just 160 million dollars, the first deal was way expensive In October 2005 Saab signed a contract to supply an airborne Surveillance System for Pakistan to the value of 8.3 billion SEK vs just 1.3B SEKits 120 M pounds so X App 2.2
In 2007 the PAF reduced the order from 6 to 4, this caused the contract to drop in price by $186 million (SEK 1.3 bn). It seems that the cost of the Erieye (in 2007) was $93 m not including life-cycle support costs. This $93 m also includes the cost of the Saab 2000, zeroing its airframe and integration. The PAF has already absorbed the life-cycle costs, so it can buy the Erieye for its up front price.that still not much its just 160 million dollars, the first deal was way expensive In October 2005 Saab signed a contract to supply an airborne Surveillance System for Pakistan to the value of 8.3 billion SEK vs just 1.3B SEK
is it possible that we just acquiring one system for replacement not 3
Probably the same Erieye AESA radar, possibly additional subsystems (e.g. EO/IR pod, SAR, etc).do we need whether these will be identical to previous SAAB or some updated features?
Heck If it fits FC1 and PAF gets it for all it's older Doppler using Blk 1 and Blk 2 aircraft's, 100 in all, it would be a leap comparable to buying 50 new jetsConvert all PD radar to AESA radar in situ, a huge combat ability leap for PLAAF.
Only China can do it!
We have lot of genius in China, Kudos!Heck If it fits FC1 and PAF gets it for all it's older Doppler using Blk 1 and Blk 2 aircraft's, 100 in all, it would be a leap comparable to buying 50 new jets
although it is off-topic, but if we have budged had we not given up the enrichment route as well as processing route? what do you say?Btw the Corsair saga is a perfect example of 100 piyaz bhi khana or 100 jootay bhi.
Pakistan wanted a good attack aircraft as a B-57 replacement. The A-7 fitted the bill. Deal was for circa 120 aircraft. Then at the same time were negotiating rather successfully with the French for a nuclear reprocessing plant (hint plutonium route to nuke bombs).
When the Carter administration came in, it held hostage the Corsairs against scrapping of the reprocessing plant deal.
We didn't budge, hence Corsairs deal scrapped. Eventually the US pressure proved too much for the French & they scrapped the reprocessing plant deal as well.
Hence "pani bhi na piya, glass tora 12 anay bill".
