This version is the exactly one which we are going to get. Check the Chinese AEW&C thread and see what the Ex-CAS had to say about the dish antenna version of the Chinese AEW&C.
The main difference between the above picture and the one which w will get would be the platform on which the radar would be mounted.
Mostly probably, the AEW&C would be based on the Y-8F600 version, which is the latest from Chinese in collaboration with American & P&W & Ukrainian & even some British inputs for export models.
Thus, may be PAF gets the Y-8F600 model with P&W engines, avionics suite by Honeywell, propeller system of the British.
Or if we are looking for cost cutting measures, then an all Chinese version can be gotten also.
Y-8F600 is the model on which Chinese KJ-200 Balance Beam version is mounted.
Sir i did mean the platform..... this is not the platfrom we are gona get atleast from my knowledge
