I don't know how authentic this news is, but it is very welcome if true. It doesn't matter if the current radar has lesser range. The increased endurance will increase the No Escape Zone (NEZ) making Thunder a more lethal platform. And NCW means even an AEWACS can provide mid-flight course correction, if PAF has such a capability. Likely, Chinese engineers may accompany the shipment if any help is needed with integration. AVM Shahid Latif was saying in a recent interview that (reproducing his words as best as I remember) "We have a test rig with LRUs in Kamra. You can bring any LRU and test its integration".
