Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[Princeps Senatus]

Maybe they were sent back to be upgraded ?

Yes most probably. I was a bit confused because of the yellow primer but I guess they have to remove the paint for major upgrades.

Is PAF going for additional ZDKs? ZDK-05 for example.

PNs new Sea Sultan MPAs are to be equipped with AESA radars so perhaps they can free up some AWACs from south, if capable enough for AA detection then PAF would be pretty comfy in terms of AWACs. Note the outer wing pylons equipped with IR AAMs for self defence or taking out other MPAs detected in deep sea.

Isn't this a long-term project and who is providing the EW equipment? Germany or Turkey or Italy?

These will at most be fitted with Maritime patrol radar plus only a optional forward facing aesa. Nothing awacs like in this.
There is however a different project by PN also underway such envisions a Lineage 1000 with a domestic AWACS radar to supplement sea sultan aircraft.

From google the radar selected for the Sea Sultan MPA is the Seaspray AESA surveillance radar, with Leonardo as contractor for two aircraft. I'm not sure about AA detection, perhaps someone can check if that capability exists on them. If the Sea Sultan is comparable to Saab's Swordfish those MPA's are advertised as capable of AWACs role so this would be a big capability bonus.

you can't expect a down facing radar to perform a AWACS role

Can any one of these are comparable to p-8 supplied to india by us?

It's called Seaspray not Airspray. The name alone tells you what it's meant for

 

[aziqbal]

one ZDK-03 was in China for upgrade whatever happened to that ?

did it become the ZDK-05?

Yes this will be a look down AESA (Sea Spray) for Surface vessel/ Sub Periscope detection not AEW mode.

P-8 not an AWACS either.
