Imagine if Pakistan bought the IP rights to Saab 2000 same way it bought Saab Safari and turned it into a world class avaiation success story. Will find market domestic travel and also exported to other countries. So many possibilities too from military perspective @Quwa

PAF should first try to get ToT on Saab 2000 and EricEye, IP is the next step.

Major difference between round shaped and horizental radars on both awacs does it has any significant advantage between two

Maybe they're still working on the replacement. There were news of purchasing another unit...0049 must've been the write off

The '15-16 MoDP report said the PAF recovered the 4th Erieye - and that too at the cost of a new system (not including after-sale maintenance support).

Initial batch came without ELINT / SIGINT.
Thanks to Indian pressure and Grippen lollypop.

more like either the inclusion of sar or an upgraded link to ground

Why PAF not buying KJ 2000 on il 78 platform

Yep seems like ground-facing systems. I'm not sure if it's SAR though - it'd have to be pretty small. The SAR compartment on the GlobalEye and even King Air 350ER is quite large (see here and here). I wonder if it's an EO/IR turret instead?

good point probably a smaller variant at there may not be enough power to power a large sar. which is a good point.
or it could be some upgraded (local) des encryption communication antenna.

It could be something like the Leonardo PicoSAR. The PicoSAR is very small.
