They were busy in making money from wedding hall.....they move the guard to wedding parks, instead of planes...until now i feel sad and ashamed that PAF failed to protect the most expensive single aircraft in their inventory .
Until this war on terror issue, the biggest threat facing PAF air bases was Pumba, I.e. warthogs. It didn't fully comprehend that a war was being fought on home soil.until now i feel sad and ashamed that PAF failed to protect the most expensive single aircraft in their inventory .
It is bad reporting for sure ... but can it be that since 1 EriEye Saab-2000 was destroyed and 1 was reportedly damaged and supposed to be repaired (current status unknown) ... then it would be 5 + 2 = 7? ... that is if the news of the 5th ZDK-03 is correct.
Look at the pictures in above Post, serial numbers
11-001
11-002
12-002
12-003
13-003
confirm there are 5 KE's, but why are 002 & 003 duplicated? anyone
The way PAF is going, it'd much prefer being more involved in the development of what it procures, so as to ensure its exact needs are met. PAF would probably prefer engaging in a project akin to Wedgetail: Take a very powerful AESA radar and integrate it to a platform capable of long loiter time (not only in terms of flight, but housing the actual operators for long durations). It'll be a decade or so before such a program could be possible, but it'd be the ideal solution, above Erieye by any measure. ZDK03 and Karakorum Eagle is a step towards that.SAABs ERIEYE will be missed
& the P3 upgraded in Mehraan.

In an ideal world, Pakistan would be in a position (financially) to take the Airbus A320 as a base platform for AEW&C, MPA and ISR&BM programs, one after the other.
currently paf operates 3 erieye and 4 KE03
4th erieye could be procured based on one existing platform and transferring equipment from damaged example
3 ERIEYE?? that is optimistic
Does any one has video of this program ?Yeah very optimistic
#040 was again photographed recently, its the same one that appeared on 23 march flypast, saudi exercise, etc
From pictures we know for sure PAF has two Saabs, one fitted with Eriye, the other one without it. PAF uses it as a transporter i think since Saab has blacklisted Pakistan.
April 2015 - people hauler
#040 Last Eriye.
And recently, like yesterday!

There was a report a while back hinting that the two heavily damaged Erieye would be repaired, but as with many things in Pakistan, speculation and hope is all we got. Also, I don't think Saab or Sweden blacklisted Pakistan, their embassy still has Saab's Defence branch involved in Pakistan.
