What are they doing? Photoshoot for Google all over Pakistan?

That is i believe, because India doesn't allow dual nationality. So if a person becomes a citizen of another country, then he surrenders his passport, right?

And if he doesn't have Indian passport, then of course he cannot get Indian entry, regardless of whether he was Indian citizen before or not.

It is same with Pakistan. A lot of people who become naturalized citizens of another country, and don't renew their Pakistani passport (just because they don't care anymore) then if they need to visit Pakistan, they need to get Pakistani visa.

I remember my dad's elder brother is Canadian citizen, He gave up on renewing his Pakistani passport, so now eveytime he visits Pakistan, he has to get visa from Pakistan consulate in Canada.


F**ked up, right?

There is this thing called NICOP. Its basically an ID card which allows you to travel to Pakistan. I have a Canadian passport and NICOP as well

ELINT system installed in ZDK-03

CETC KZ800 Airborne Electronic Intelligence System

The KZ800 is a computerised airborne electronic intelligence (ELINT) system designed to be installed on medium- to large-size aircraft to detect, identify and locate hostile land-based or shipborne radar emitters operating within frequency band 1.0-18.0GHz, and accurately measure and analyse the intercepted signal parameters. The analysis of the aforesaid radar information can provide key information on the configurations of hostile air defense radar networks, the distribution of enemy operational airports, and the deployment of enemy artillery and missile troops.

thats the original kz-800, the one on zdk is a newer model, a hybrid type with chinese kj-2000 module influence.

Egyptian Air Force (EAF) may be the 1st customer of zdk-03 with jf-17 thunder

ZDK-03 Karakoram Eagle
ZDK-03 (Y-8CS?) is an export AWACS system being developed for the Pakistani Air Force. This project was initiated in the early 2000. A Y-8 AWACS testbed (S/N T0518/Y-8CE) based on Y-8 Category II Platform was first discovered at CFTE in early 2006. Unlike KJ-200, this variant carries a traditional rotodome above its fuselage, with a mechanically rotating antenna inside. The PESA radar is thought to scan electronically in elevation but mechanically in azimuth. Therefore the Y-8 AWACS was speculated to be developed for the export market only as it appears less advanced than KJ-200 which features a fixed AESA radar. However this design does provide a true 360° coverage and carry a cheaper price tag. The AEW radar may have been the product of the 38th Institute/CETC, but no details are available. The aircraft also features a solid nose and tail with MAWS sensors on both sides, as well as small vertical stabilizers attached to its tailplanes. Another two MAWS sensors are attached to the tailcone as well. Additional fairings are seen at the wingtips and the tail housing ESM antennas. The Y-8 AWACS prototype flew to Pakistan and was evaluated by Pakistani AF in 2006. After some negotiations a much improved design was developed based on PAF's specifications. The variant is now named ZDK-03 (ZDK means CETC) and is based on the new Y-8 Category III Platform featuring WJ-6C turboprops with 6-blade high efficiency propellers. It was reported in early 2009 that a total of 4 were ordered by PAF in a $278m contract. The first ZDK-03 prototype rolled out in November 2010 at SAC. Since then it has been undergoing test at CFTE (S/N 733). ZDK-03 is expected to serve as the airborne command & control center for the JF-17 fighter fleet currently in service with PAF. However it does not have the secure NATO datalink installed to effectively command western fighter aircraft such as American F-16. Therefore ZDK-03 operates together with Saab-2000 in a "high-low" combination in order to coordinate various Chinese and western made combat aircraft effectively. The first ZDK-03 (S/N 11-001) was delivered to PAF in December 2011. The 2nd (S/N 11-002) was delivered some time later. The third ZDK-03 (12-003) was delivered in 2013.

where is ZDK-03 (S/N 11-004)

 

[Krate M]

@nomi007 interesting information in the post. If that's an article can you post the link please.

 

[The Deterrent]

The fourth ZDK-03 has been based at Mushaf Air Base (Sargodha) as a new shelter/hangar (similar to the 3 hangars built at Masroor AFB) has been constructed for it at Mushaf AFB.

 

[kaku1]

The fourth ZDK-03 is based at Mushaf Air Base, Sargodha. A new shelter/hangar (similar to the 3 hangars built at Masroor AFB) has been constructed for it.

When I read first time your sentence, I thought it is Musharaf AFB, lol.
