hamza Pakistan would have 8 AWA&C in total.Four from Sweden and four from china.Two of them will serve NAVY and six will Serve PAF.
its my guess that two Erieye would be handed over to Navy because its good in Scanning on sea surface as well as on land too.because of the angle of RADAR.
see the PRMO video of ERIEYE

As per my knowledge the order for Saab-2000 was reduced because the navy opted for E-2C hawkeye 2000 system based on P-3C orion aircraft instead saab-2000 Erieye according to them the reason navy gave was that navy was more comfortable with P-3C orion aircraft and it would be easy for them to maintain as they are operating them for some long years now
 
The original order for Swedish AWACS was 6 but later reduced to 4.

E-2C is unlike P-3C Orion
The role of P-3C is totally different from AEW&C

I do not know the status of E-2C for PN but i hope PN looks into Chinese Y-8 as a future AEW&C perhaps 2/3 of them.
 
An old bit from Kanwa (in 2007), translated/paraphrased by tphuang:
The other news from kanwa is on J-10/Y-8 AEW. It looks like PAF looks at these two as long term investment. At current time, it's focused on JF-17 and Erieye. Although funding could reduce the number of Erieye to even less than 7. For Y-8 AEW, PAF hopes to eventually use lessons here to develop it's own AEW platform
China Air and Naval Power: More on cooperation with Pakistan

Pakistan developing & producing its next-generation AEW&C would certainly be an amazing development if seen through. The ZDK03 AEW&C deal with China does include elements of joint-development and transfer of expertise and perhaps even technology. There is also scope for joint-development with Turkey as they're currently working on phased-array radar technology as well as GENESIS for sensor-fusion, command & control, etc. Plus the fact that Turkish firms are working on the Turkish AEW&C (Wedgetail MESA) program.

mani is correct - hawkeye 2000 radar fitted on P-3 a/c. i dont know the status of this offer - 3 such a/c were offered to the PN for USD800m. the US Coast Guard uses the same. its called P-3H (I Think!)

Pakistan purchased 7 ATR 42-500 for PIA along with 6 Saab 2000. The deal was with 14 Erieye radar (7 with ATR 42-500 and 6 with Saab 2000) in 2006.

Pakistan got 7 ATR 42-500 but later decreased number of Erieye to 5 or 6 only for SAAB not for ATR 42-500.

So Y not, now Pakistan deal for 7 Erieye for ATR 42-500?????

wow...take a look at rare mirage3, it appears to be twin seater and painted in FIGHTER CAMOUFLAGE..:blink:

There is really nothing wrong with that.. believe me..They just decided to paint it that way...and I think it belongs in the tankers section..:azn:

As for the sudden brainwaves about the ATR..
The ATR lacks the size and capacity to house the system the PAF was looking for, otherwise MPA ATR's are in service around the globe..
Also.. the PIA was also forced to try the SAAB machine in a bid to get a common maintenance platform. However the aircraft was never the PIA's cup of tea.

Twin seat versions of aircrafts like Mirages, F7s, and F 16 are almost as capable and in some cases more in combat as their single seat version and are used as such so there is nothing unsual about seeing them in combat colors.
