Last posted:2013-03-22 Saab has signed a five-year, SEK1,100 (USD170 million) contract to support its Saab
2000 Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft in service with an
unidentified international customer, the company announced on 21 March. The contract includes "a comprehensive set of spares and support services for a
previously delivered system ... equipped with the advanced Erieye radar system and
ground equipment", Saab said in a statement. While the Erieye radar system has been fitted to several platforms, including the Saab
340 and Embraer 145, for eight customers, Pakistan is the only international military
customer for the Saab 2000. Pakistan received the first of four aircraft in December 2009. The second arrived in
April 2010, the third in late 2010, and the final aircraft in April 2011. They are operated
by No. 13 Squadron at Minhas air base, although one aircraft is believed to have been damaged during a terrorist attack on the base in August 2012. Saab is already in the process of repairing the damaged Saab 2000 Erieye. The Erieye features an electronic warfare suite that includes electronic support, threat
warning and countermeasures dispensing subsystems, an identification friend or foe
subsystem, command and control capabilities, and a ground-based mission trainer.
Although it can communicate with the PAF's Lockheed Martin F-16s via a data link, this
is not compatible with the force's Dassault Mirage fleet.

It is clear that there is a signficant diference in the reporting between Jane's and Defense Industry Daily!
Because jane's still says ''one damaged under repair''
While defensedaily article quoted by oscar says one destroyed two damaged....
