if true that's the fresh and good news quoted by you.
First off, the price tag for that would be too high. Not for the Radar because it'll probably be the same as the one we have on our Erieye - but for the aircraft itself.
Hahaha. SD-10 hype all over again.... Chinese copy russians and we all know how good they are lolNo comments otherwise I would be slaughtered on pdf
A fully equipped GlobalEye IS quite expensive.First off, the price tag for that would be too high. Not for the Radar because it'll probably be the same as the one we have on our Erieye - but for the aircraft itself.
The GlobalEye is a joint venture between SAAB & Bombardier (of Canada). The aircraft is a Bombardier Global 6000 (a cooperate jet).
So, basically you'd be dealing with both Sweden & Canada = Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Hey guys why is this radar rectangular? And other one is circular? Which one is the SAAB one?Source:
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.

Okay, the first two Questions might be explained by someone who has (more) technical knowledge.
I think it was 2 new and 2 upgrades (for the Saab 340):

I can tell you, that the flat rectangular one is the SAAB.
Here is my fav AEW&C from Boeing based on the B737 (E-7A Wedgetail). It is operated by only 3 Nations. Turkey, Australia & South Korea and the UK just placed an order for Five a couple of months back.
This bloody thing has a great range. Fuselage of a B737-700 & Wings of a B737-800 which means it can carry more fuel & fly further/longer than any B737 (NG Series).

When I said it was my favorite - I meant personal preference. I've actually been inside the Turkish Air Force Boeing AEW&C during the Dubai Air Show (-courtesy of Boeing Defense & Aerospace).
