11 AWACS... Damn.

Modified C-130 or whatever, it is just an airframe and C-130 has a proven record. Just remember that it is airborne early warning and control system that simply means that its effectiveness depends on the systems onboard and not just on the platform and C-130 with its huge carrying capacity and high degree of stability can handle the task exceedingly good. Bigger capacity means more systems can be packed inside it.Whoa now, lets all chill.
Even though the Saabs are a AWAC piece it still has devices capable of listening to communications. There's only so much sorties a modified C-130 can make.
And before knowing whether they can support both JF-17 & F-16 operations.
11 AWACS... Damn.
Not AWACS, but AEW&CS!!!
11 AWACS... Damn.
Yes sir.I thought only 3 SAAB AWACS were active with 1 destroyed in Kamra attack. Has PAF made all 4 active??
Yes sir.
I had been saying it since the attack::. Having met the major involved in the operation, who was sent to give lectures of perimeter security (coz he did a good job).
The so called destroyed AWAC was damaged by an RPG hit and Swedes rejected help to repair it. PAC made it operational.
Somewhere 1990-1992 my friend offered PAF to transform C130 to AEW&C Platform. It was time when Pak was denied COTS solution like sentry and others. He held back becauae some bigwigs wanted their cuts.
He eventually came to USA, completed his MS and PHD in EE in 3 yrs. Has patents in spatial signal modulation through fiber optic.
It is good there is a focus now on indigenization through thunder, alkhalid, and sea based platforms.
Would be nice, but the Swedes seem to have different policies when it comes to selling offensive vs defensive weapons..
Can PAF benefit from something like Raytheon Sentinel in the future? For deeper and better ESM/ELINT/ECCM?
Hazrat I thought this was being developed in Pakistan?
The PAF uses its Dassault Falcon DA20s in the EW role, but if it requires more - or newer - platforms, it can collaborate with Aselsan in Turkey. Aselsan has a complete platform on offer in the HAVASOJ (link). Approaching them from the standpoint of a joint-venture (to develop a custom solution) could be an option. There is also the Aselsan MULTI-INT ISR platform (link) which can do ESM, ELINT, ground-surveillance and COMINT.Can PAF benefit from something like Raytheon Sentinel in the future?

j 20 not sure whether offered yet or notWhy go for such expensive planes when chinese are offering their top of the line j10 and j20 at cheap rates ?
who cares of UN resolutions or human rightsSweden sold RBS-15 AShM to Algeria (for its MEKO A-200AN), and Algeria is far from a fair and just democracy. As for India, what about the stuff happening in Kashmir?
EriEye is not considered a weapon useful to quell internal unrest, so it has much less limitations.
