Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[Inception-06]

Because they can be removed if needed. Walls are permanent

No offense, only provocation, so PAF prefers container wall instead of hardened walls/shelters for its AWACS?

Go look at PAF bases on Google Earth and the number of HASs. Most of its aircrafts operate out of HASs on a regular basis and not only during war time. It's silly to draw conclusions from a single picture. This particular picture is from AFB Faisal where the main tarmac is vulnerable to intrusion from the marshes on the other side of the runway. These containers have been placed on a taxiway as added security within the base perimeter to secure a potential access point to the tarmac. Containers provide better protection than walls and can be removed if needed. AWACs are not permanently based at Faisal. Most probably there for maintenance. Now all major bases have specialized hangers for AWACs surrounded by blast walls.

There were news of a Saab airframe delivery flight to Pakistan on civil aviation websites. I even posted links & screen caps(but then site got hacked & data was lost). One of the ex-serviceman on forum confirmed this, that the new airframe will get new radar equipment to get strength back to 4.

The latest rumor (June 2015) suggested that the AWACS might be upgraded in the future with a fixed AESA radar similar to the one onboard KJ-500 replacing the Pesa Radar.
