This is a thread for Pakistan's AEW plans. Please post your articles relating to IAF's acquisitions in the appropriate thread. Next time around the posts will be deleted if found in the wrong thread. You can discuss aspects of the Indian acquisitions here but do not post articles etc. as it will very easily derail this thread. Please delete and post it in the appropriate thread.

Thank you

Thanks for posting those pics Qsaark.

I haven't seen the pictures of the blue and white KJ-200 before, the one with the 4 blade propellers and "Y-8F200" written on it. Could this one be the KJ-200 prototype that crashed? It has 4 blade propellers while the other pics have more modern-looking 6 blade propellers, which I think are supposed to reduce noise levels. It does not seem to have any EW receivers on the tip of the wings or tail either, the other 6-blade propeller KJ-200s do. It also has a glass nose, unlike the 6-blade KJ-200s that have a solid nose with a white fairing sticking out - could this fairing be for EW equipment or a small radar antennae to give radar coverage over the front of the aeroplane?

1/ KJ-200 is a special plane based on Y8 and has a dish-shapped antenna,but the plane with a balance beam on fuselage is not KJ-200, yes , i am sure!!!
2/ the blue and white plane in the middle above was still being made that time, finished product is the last picture which has many EW receivers

We do not have any AWACS or AEW&C at the moment. There is a SAAB training one that is being used to train the PAF crew. Deliveries are to begin from mid of this year(IIRC).

I saw this news in Asian Defence Blog. If this is real, then it is bad for PAF. The accusation came from ex-PAF chief.

Someone posted this on youtube and labeled it as PAF Erieye. I can't make the flag because it ain't a hi-def video.

It is the first version doing trials in Sweden still with non PAF markings... Will be ready in 2 months and delivered.

Somewhere around 2010-11 from what I have read. Pakistan still wants some improvement on the platform.
