Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[Safriz]

Ya ya ! sure sure ! ... Thats the Spirit

Naa maannay waloon kaa to koi ilaaj nahi hai...

The matter was investigated by many members here and what we found exactly matched with the original news report released by PAF.
Why do you think i am even giving the Airframe number? Must have done search/research into the matter..
But like i said....
There is no cure for perpetual suspicion...

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

Erieye is not RIP...
All are fine except one which is inactive and stored for repair or spare parts scavenging..
Thats 10025 which appeared in Dubai airshow..|That was the the one damaged in terrorist attack..
Only the airframe was damaged in the attack and since PAF bought all the SAAB 2000 secondhand and cheap,it may not have been feasible to get the airframe damaged,and so it was most probably stored for spares scavenging.
If need arises,the Erieye system can be removed from 10025 and fitted in another SAAB 2000.
But looks like PAF is in no hurry.

When there is no MONEY, there is absolutely no HURRY.

real image?

the arrangement of radar seem like a pure aesa

3 aesa?or the image is nt real?

PS ... made by PAFFALCONS PS'er Zeshan Bangash.
and the THREE antenna radar is under testing in china on the same platform which was presented to Pakistan in 2006 and will possibly be fitted on PLAN Carrier Borne AEW&C.

Erieye system is sitting there in PAF shed,and thats the most expensive component..
SAAB 2000 are dirt cheap these days and retrofitting the Erieye into SAAB 2000 isnt that expensive either...
Reasons may not be financial but other....

pak should have opted for that..

or should upgrade the zdk-03

 

[TVVELVEMO$]

think of the israelis..they shot down a yank asset even though it was their erstwhile ally...does pak have the fortitude to do the same wen......beg the yanks just like any other muslim country bro.

When did the state of Israel shoot down a US aircraft? Pray do tell?

And "erstwhile" means former, as in not anymore.....Do you have brand new information about rupture of US-Israeli ties that has not been leaked up here in US? Please enlighten us all.

"beg the Yanks...." This is too rich; I will deal with your riff at a later point in time.

2012 was probably one of the worst years of the peace time activity for P.A.F.
Loss of 10 precious pilots and a total of 14 ACs is a big loss for an air force.(with an Attrition rate of about 2 % each year-that's way more than western air forces.) Loss of the AEW&C platforms is a significant set back and it can also be demoralizing for the crew taking care/operating the asset.

On one hand we are losing the outmoded and kind of obsolete tech and on the other hand we failed to secure our pricey and latest aerial assets.

Finances will always play a pivotal role,keeping in mind that the air force is lower down the totem pole than the powerful & mighty Pak Army when it comes to budgetary distribution. Let's just hope that the condition gradually improves in favor of our air warriors.

All future pakistani fighters will presumably be datalinked with the eireye. The jf-16 and J-10 might be equiped with the DATALINK-16 the same advanced datalink used is the gripen and some missiles. Even without datalink-16 the jf-17 will still have a considerably better datalink than most fighters and any fighter in the iaf

PAF is still unable to data link the Mirages and JF-17 with the Eireye. This is why Kj-2000's are being procured in the first place (Even though some sources say it was Musharraf's will and Kaleem Saadat's disagreement over the AWACS purchase of Kj-2000.)
