Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[Ultima Thule]

Hahahhahaahha
There.. I just laughed at you.
Now, in seriousness
You are confusing airborne based Lidar type mine detection from a low flying HELICOPTER with AWACS.

Its probabe you read something somewhere or saw a half youtube video and your mind remembered sketchy details and has you convinced you saw what you claim.

Sir @syed zia Hassan don't knows what he talking about

So thats all 4 accounted for.
The 10-025 was the one i know for sure was most damaged by terrorist attack.

So no we got 4 Erieye. 4 ZDK-03.

The longest length of Pakistan is about 1800 Km and at widest 1100 Km. Average width of the country is about the same as these AWACS radar range.
For 100% coverage of all Pakistani airspace , at any time 3 of these need to be in the air..

So, the w/o unit was replaced by J-029 with the radar system ordered in FY 2015-2016 for USD 130 million.
Which one was destroyed: 10-049 or 11-045 ???

10-025 was repaired. The w/o unit was 10-049 or 11-045.

Not sure why only 3 new Saab 2000 Erieye have been ordered. Maybe, J-019 will be converted as well.

I think it was 11-045 (previously 10-045)

No news yet on delivery of 3 new Saab 2k which were ordered ?

bottomline looks like paf is going for original plan to have 7 Saab 2k for awacs plus 1 or 2 transport which provides conversion and transport duties plus crew conversion on Saab

Per paf history now Saab rebuild is also part of mirage factory there are pictures in AFM ( last article on pac mirages) where mirage rebuild hanger now also houses Saab rebuilt / depot level service

plz share ...

Paf initial requirement was for 6 aewcs plus 1 more from Saab . It seems requirements are enhancement. Paf went for 4 Chinese and 4 Saab aewcs plus 3 more.

A massive aew fleet.

No doubt an enhanced one. Does it mean Saab can also communicate with all other fighters of paf including f16

thanks

Pakistan is not getting Global Eye but just a simple AWAC. Why is a big question.

 

[IHK_PK]

I don't think it's the monetary reasons involved in not going for the global eye rather it could be the reluctance of the west to share their most cutting edge technologies to china's friend Pakistan.
So we take what was offered.

1. Thus far the Erieye ER has only been qualified on the Bombardier Global 6000, not the Saab 2000. If the PAF were to select the Erieye ER - with integration to the Saab 2000 - it'd likely have to pay the extra cost of doing so (i.e. integration work, tests, certification, etc).

2. The Erieye ER would be costlier - it necessitates new support infrastructure. The UAE paid $238 m for each Erieye ER, while the PAF got the additional three Erieye for around $130 m each (thanks to the fact that it already has the training, logistics and maintenance infrastructure already in place for the Erieye).

3. Prior to the 2005 Earthquake, the PAF had intended to build a fleet of 6 Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C.
