HiFirstly, Embraer is not from SAAB but its a Brazillian aircraft.
Secondly, going with Embraer was costing a lot of time, meaning that the platform wouldn't have been available soon and PAF wanted it sooner. That was the primary factor we didn't go for Embraer.
HiPakistan wanted avionics for JF-17 from France. This makes people believe that the confidence on China is low when it comes to avionics. One of the main components of avionics is the communication and navigation sub systems.
On the other hand the avionics is at the very heart of any AWACS platform and Pakistan rely on China for providing the same. Can anyone please help me understand this dichotomy ?

Hi
i think what PAF wanted was avionics along with Radars & MICA, so it makes sense, as having diversity would have reflected other capabilities of JF-17thunder, which is good if you want to export a jet, countries appreciate versatility, especially if u can integrate your choice of avionics, weapons, radars etc.
As for AWACS i believe Pakistan had purchased EYRIE from Sweden without any TOT, so to be on the safe side, to be able to with stand during sanctions and have an indigenous platform. Pakistan entered into AWACS programme with China.
Thanks for your reply. I agree, valid point about Radars and MICA. Not sure why you call the AWACS as indigenous. Looks like DRDO is having a big influence on Pakistan.
