Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[Safriz]

I thought pad ke03 has single rotating aesa radar

No its PESA. That too electronically steers the beam by constructive and destructive interference but has limits.

 

[TaimiKhan]

i never mentioned the range, but yes your correct.


so then the zdk-03 is not = to the kj-500 then.

i mentioned that.

Not a 100 percent. Some say PAF got pesa radars, while chinese may be having aesa or may be pesa. Ours came first and then chinese got them inducted. So they would have made changes as per their requirements.

well id imagine pakistan got pesa's which would explain two large rotating modules whilst the chinese version has 3 rotating modules. (the number of modules on a rotating system does not make much difference) id probably go with what messiah said and say pakistan may go for the an upgraded variant (kj-500) later on.

No its just one half circle inside the rotodome , the other half is empty.

If chinese have 3 sections then its aesa and the dish wont rotate. 3 sections give them 360 coverage. Yups they PAF do have plan for future upgrade but would depend how much benefit aesa gives compared to current system.

for the e3 yes but we dont know the layout for the zdk's

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

what ISR, EW/ECM, ELINT/SIGINT solutions are being used at present?

ISR - King Air 350ER, ATR-72 MPA and maybe Hawker 850XP
EW/ECM - Hawker 850XP, Falcon DA 20
ELINT/SIGINT - Falcon DA 20

ZDK-03 may also have ELINT / SIGINT judging by the number of antennas on it, just too many.

Modp report 2016/17 did reported recovery of 4th awacs but not sure if it's completed yet with 3 new orders total will come to 7 Saab 2k awacs plus 2 transport unless one of the transport is used for recovery

Per paf history PAC / paf have established d or depot level repair facility for Saab 2k platform

Per PAF recent chief interview he clearly states that all lost AWECs were recovered

 

[Safriz]

There were 3 erieye ever photographed together. And that too on or a short while before Kamra attack in 2012. So they did keep 3 Erieyes at Kamra before the attack. Probably all three Pakistan had.

parking 750million $ aircrafts like this is shameful

there are many unexplained mysteries from zardari era.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Most airforces do it like this.

don't blame zardari for every thing
mehran is naval & kamra base is under paf control

Most airforces do it like this.

most airforce have full proof security also

zardari continuously gobbled up 40% of PAF budget throughout his time.
