Does PAF looking to get more newer Block of Saab-2000 AEW&Cs.

we already using 2nd hand saab 2000
production of saab 2000 is ended

 

[Arsalan]

The Third ZDK-03 Karakoram Eagle have not arrived yet?? or is this just that they are keeping it quite after the Kamra Airbase attack incident?
there have been no confirmed report on the third AWACS arriving in Pakistan while there were rumors about the End June delivery going on!

Any new on this?

I believe it is not delivered yet.
Kamra incident aside, I think PAF should align profiles of ZDK-03/Saab-2000 AEW&C with blinders Falcons. Such assets should be kept to limited sites, with access to limited personnel. Similar changes should be done in their routine operations.

its close look to three AESA antennas of zdk-03

Thats doesnt seem to ZDK03's rotodoom ...ZDK03 most likely has Two Arrays ....see the HD pic in above post ..

China's New Generation Y-9 AEW&C Aircraft Revealed
China's New Generation Y-9 Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) aircraft which will offer 360º radar coverage with its Three sided active electronically scanned array (AESA) Radar.
This new Airborne Early Warning and Control System looks to improve on the Sino-Pak ZDK-03 Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) Karakoram Eagle which uses rotating Radar dome to provide 360º radar coverage.

 

[Black Eagle 90]

So how many AEW&C does PAF has.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

So how many AEW&C does PAF has.

four saab AEWACs were ordered and delivered 1 got knocked up so 3 saabs awacs

+ fourZDK-03 awacs were ordered from china 2 have been so far delivered

so we currently have 5 awacs

@Oscar @Arsalan @Najam Khan @Hyperion @Aeronaut @Tempest II @Dazzler :

Suppose that we're at war with India & we'd want to maintain round the clock surveillance of Pakistani Airspace & perhaps up to a 100 km into Indian Airspace just for the latter to act as a buffer so as to increase our response time !

How many AWACs would be need to both (i) provide full coverage of Pakistani Airspace & perhaps up to a 100 km coverage of the Indian Airspace & (ii) to maintain a round the clock presence (accounting for the sorties & everything that would go into that equation) in doing this ?

As per my idea, we need to keep 3 to 4 aircraft airborne to cover all of our eastern border, this is considering the border to be around 1200 km aerial distance and range of ZDK-03 and Erieye in the range of 400 km ( ALSO NOTE THAT AWACS ARE NOT A STATIONARY RADAR, THE MOBILITY ALLOWS FOR MORE AREA TO BE COVERED AND KEPT IN CHECK THEN THE RADAR RANGE) This means that a total fleet of some 7 - 8 AWACS with 3 to 4 airborne at a time will be enough to cover our border and keep an eye inside enemy territory.

Hmmmn, a second question comes to mind - Those, lets say, 4 AWACs would require a 3-4, lets say 4, Aircraft Fighter Escort as well ! Assuming that that job would be delegated to the Jf-17, that would translate to 16 Jf-17 to be delegated for that every time !

How many Jf-17s would we require in total for them to be delegated for this task alone ? 40 or something ?

Why would they require a 4 aircraft escort in PK airspace?
