This is where Pakistan's indigenous Link 17 datalink comes in. It is supposed to be integrated among all three branches and collectively redistribute radar, drone and satellite information from the various origin platforms of all three branches.

From Bilal Khan's (QUWA) analysis, Erieyes and ZDK-03s can act as airborne bridge between Link-16 and Link-17 that is PAF-16s can have access to non US origin platform information but only the Erieye has the ability to guide AMRAAMs for long range engagements. Speculation but with SD-10/PL-15 PAF will probably not have this handicap, its very plausible that they can be guided by both Erieye and ZDK-03s or other link-17 aircraft.
Thanks for the info, my understanding was always that the western and chinese systems work under different datalinks Link16 and Link17 independent of each othe. I would say if PAF has integrated all the assets in one data link in a network centric environment with a home grown solution, which resolves a lot of problems with interoperatability Hats off to them!! Opens up lots of possibilites and reduces a lot of constraints for future purchases.
