That was a SEK 7.4 billion "Credit contract" and figures included Compound interest and surcharges..Not the actual cost per unit...Source: http://www.defence.pk/forums/pakist...awacs-aew-cs-aircrafts-215.html#ixzz2cQd5dDIv
Pakistan Air Force Saab 2000 AEW&C Support Contract
Posted on: March 21st, 2013
The first Pakistan Air Force Saab 2000 AEW&C during pre-delivery flight-testing.
Saab was awarded a support contract for the type today by an unspecified nation, which must be Pakistan, as the only current operator of the type.
Saab DEFENCE AND security company Saab today signed an SEK1.1 billion ($169 million) support contract for a Saab 2000 AEW&C (airborne early warning and control) system already in service with an undisclosed nation. Although the company did not identify the country involved, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is the only air arm currently operating the type. All other Erieye systems on Saab aircraft are on the smaller Saab 340.
The PAF has taken delivery of four Saab 2000 AEW&C aircraft, which entered service with 3 Squadron at PAF Base Kamra-Minhas from December 2009. One aircraft was, however, damaged beyond repair on August 16, 2012, when militants fired a rocket-propelled grenade at 3 Squadron’s hangar. At the time it was thought to be repairable, but on February 6, 2013, Pakistan’s Defense Secretary confirmed that it had been destroyed in the attack.
The new support contract covers a comprehensive set of spares and support services for the system, which comprises of the Saab 2000 aircraft equipped with the advanced Erieye radar system and ground equipment.
“Our support contract is a result of our close co-operation with our customer and can be seen as a further confirmation of our strong capability to provide our customers with advanced service and support solutions”, says Gunilla Fransson, Head of Saab’s Security and Defense Solutions business.

So you need to makeup your mind too, that RPG destroyed the AWAC!
You are quoting a news posted by @fatman17 on PDF which he quoted from an aviation magazine...where it was written by "Dave Allport"..
He is wrong on many occasions..
Look here
ISSUU - No 305 afm 082013 by moest emha
Here he says that a new Hawker-4000 is operated by ISI...when it was a private jet bought by Malik riaz and co.....Only kept secret for reasons of political defamation fro buying a private jet..
Yet "Dave allport" says it ISI operated...
If you want to beleive him...go ahead..
and @fatman17 sir..always double check your sources....I have seen you posting "Sensational Journalism" on a few occasions...
You posted AFD news from Dave allport HERE
While International Registers say the plane was delivered to "Behria Town"
So all those who want to believe AFD-Dave Allport humbug.........you are following the wrong guy.
