In 2017 when this happened I posted the news on an FB page with sizeable audience and guess what?
Many Pakistani were getting angry about how PAF dared to shoot down the Holy drone of Holy Iran, while ignoring the fact that it was inside Pakistani territory .
Not only that but those certain type of Pakistani were also putting blame on Pakistan

I’ve recently found a few days to research Pak AF Mirages. It meant going through all my old notebooks and images. It’s been a joy. Some great interviews I’d never had the time to write up. This ex Lebanese AF dual seater lifts off from Rafiqui AB last year. https://t.co/VliNJwGtqv

An undisclosed customer contracted Saab to deliver an unspecified number of Erieye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C). The systems, which will be hosted aboard a Saab 2000 twin-turboprop aircraft, are valued at $160 million and will be delivered between 2020 and 2023. While Saab declined to provide further details, the nature of the system, the contract value, and the delivery timelines all indicate that the order is likely to be for between two and three systems. Given that Saab’s primary AEW&C offering is the Bombardier 6000/6500-based GlobalEye, utilizing the Erieye Extended-Range (ER) radar, it is likely that the Saab 2000-based platforms are for a follow-on customer looking to augment their existing fleet, rather than a new customer looking to acquire the latest solution.

The only two customers already known to operate the Saab 2000 AEW&C are Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Any chance this could be for India? Just saying. I mean the Swedes are not as slippery as the French but who knows; its CoVID19 era.
