4 are in inventory, don't think PAF was much impressed so the opted to get few more of the ERIEYE beside the replacement for the couple of destroyed ones.

11 AWACS in service currently? Sounds very impressive for a "small" country like Pakistan.

Lack of a suitable Chinese option is worrisome. PAF should pass on its experience and input for next Chinese AWACS project, for possible future acquisition, like it did for J-10C.

We should go for KJ-500 for this purpose its AESA based AWACS or we should go to Swedish global eye


KJ-500

Why buy new airframes when we already have ZDK-03s? All that needs to be done is upgrade them to AESA if it has already not been done.

Can read up write-ups on site QUWA, by Bilal & Co, or can search here for more info / data.

tbh I don't think the PAF will acquire any off-the-shelf AEW&C moving forward.

Since it is designing its own GaN AESA TRMs, the PAF's next-gen AEW&C will likely be an in-house project. China will still be involved (for obvious reasons -- Pakistan doesn't have the industrial base to source the TRMs), but the PAF will tailor its products from the ground up.

With all the sell out running the country and moving away from China why would China invest and help Pakistan

Masoomana sawal:
Why waste time in designing that TRMs which we can not produce ourselves or i am missing something here?

Eagle in the Desert

Pakistan Air Force ZDK-03 AWACS/AEW&C system is an airborne radar system designed to detect aircraft, ships, vehicles, missiles, and other incoming projectiles at long ranges and perform command and control of the battlespace in an air engagement by directing fighter and attack aircraft strikes.
These units are also used to carry out surveillance, including over ground targets and frequently perform BMC2 (battle management command and control). When used at altitude, the radar on the aircraft allows the operators to detect and track targets and distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft much farther away than a similar ground-based radar.
