Lot of saab2000 are in storage..you can find used one very cheap

 

[CHI RULES]

I think these are the last of Sweden AWACS,now we will go for more Chinese Awacs instead in future,taking the total to 14-15.

As it is already mentioned that Jf17 can get real time data only from ZK03 not from SAAB, same is case with F16s as they are linked with SAAB 2000 AWACS.
In future Pakistan is tilting entirely towards China after induction of JF17-Block 3, expected induction of other assets from China in case of all three forces. The next expected Chinese AWACS shall be much better and natural selection with Chinese or joint platforms.

Please do comment if you know do we have achieved the real time link capability between our entire fleet and both types of AWACS.

Someone will be shocked in regard to additional frames we received. Also, the up-gradation done in Erieye standards so, except for the one as you mentioned for "Boots" we have a good fleet number. Members can count.

Remember 1 Saab 2000 is transport aircraft as well

Pakistan Air Force officials outline Erieye AEW&C recovery process:

In an interview with the state-owned television broadcaster PTV, several of the Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) leading engineering officers outlined the process the PAF undertook to repair two damaged Saab 2000-based Erieye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft.

In August 2012, nine Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) assailants had infiltrated and attacked PAF Minhas in Kamra with the apparent aim of attacking the Erieye AEW&C. The result of the attack left one Erieye as a complete write-off and two others damaged. The fourth Erieye AEW&C was not present at the base. In effect, the attack had left the PAF with only one of its four originally ordered Erieye AEW&C aircraft.

Recalling the condition of the two damaged Erieye AEW&C, Air Commodore Riaz stated, “The aircraft were very badly damaged. There was fire damage to the top of the aircraft, there were bullet holes.” Riaz added, “When we first looked at the aircraft, they looked like complete write-offs, as the company [Saab] said.”

Upon completion of the repair work, the PAF CAS Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Sohail Aman flew on the very first test-sortie of the newly repaired aircraft. The first aircraft was repaired in two years, while the second was completed in one year following the first. Air Commodore Safdar stated that the cost of repairing the two aircraft was 5% of the original value, echoing an earlier statement by ACM Sohail Aman (when he said the cost of repairing the aircraft was $25 million U.S.) Safdar reiterated that Saab’s endorsement was a significant step, stating, “…the execution, if that is not done right, the aircraft flight safety and aircraft life is in serious jeopardy.” Safdar lauded Wing Commander Rafiq’s role in this regard.

Disagree with there being only 1 foe

Saab delivers radar equipment to Pakistan Air Force
Gabriel Dominguez, London - Jane's Defence Weekly
15 April 2019

Defence and security company Saab delivered three sets of radar equipment to Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Base Nur Khan (Chaklala) on 9 April, according to the information provided by the Pakistan Import Export Trade Database.

Although not specified by the website, it is possible that the Swedish company delivered three Erieye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) radar systems for fitment onto an equal number of twin-engined Saab 2000 aircraft that were handed over to Pakistan's Directorate General Defence Purchase in 2018, according to aircraft sales specialist Skyworld Aviation.

In a 26 June statement Skyworld Aviation announced that the aircraft had previously been in operation with Sweden-based BRA Braathens Regional Airlines.

Oh ho Jane you are a bit late on this one!

Sir, did Pakistan use erieye in actual combat as its first ever use of this system anywhere??

Yes Bro, thanks...but in subsequent reads, specially one quoted by Mod Waz, it seems the birds are with AWACS radar on it..
