They maybe great in ur opinion but not in mine.I don't know why do people get frustrated......we already going to have saab 2000 and KJ-200. These are enough.....We should acknowledge the fact that PLAAF has different requirements than PAF KJ-2000 would suit them, not necessarily us......we are good with these two.....Phalcon is an AWACS not a Raptor.....I still feel irritated for people who seem to loose faith in these two system....let me tell you one thing.....they meet our requirements.....so they are great
lolz guess you should make a secret Pakpower AFThey maybe great in ur opinion but not in mine.
Do you think it's funny but not in reality you should have some reality checks seriously. Man oh man why we are fighting with each other in this time we really need to think against our enemy and doesn't have to pull each other legs like that.lolz guess you should make a secret Pakpower AF
Yes, but you missed the important part again! If it is operated different to protect it self against SAM! If not (for example deeper in Indian airspace) it must be 500Km range again.You first mate! The source says ranges of 400 km are possible "over land" and the other 4 sources (some of them Indian) concur with this, although they don't mention "over land".
I'm just saying that different sources are talking about different type of detection and as you said, only a few really point out detection against fighters. But if you think about the higher ceilling and the more power for the radar, there should be some advantage in range of detection or?None of the sources on the phalcon say anything about what kind of target their figures are against and why should I accept your guess that "400Km should be the range where phalcon detects fighters"?
Sure the platform makes a difference, but that doesn't mean the Saab 2000 Erieye isn't good enough and needs replacing with something bigger and better.
I haven't been able to keep a track of the thread ... can someone please provide the following information.
Induction of the Chinese Y8 and SAAB2000
Refueling capability
Endurance
Anti-Jamming capability (Jamming-Resistant System)
Cheers
The first Saab 2000 AEW & C platform will become operational with the Pakistan Air Force in late 2009, followed by three more in 2010. Ex-Air France Saab 2000s will be refurbished prior to being converted into AEW & C platforms. Also to be delivered are up to six ground receiving stations. Saab will provide an integrated logistics system (ILS) for these aircraft for a 35-year period.
Rao Qamar Suleman has said that first of Chinese airborne early warning and control aircraft is due to arrive in 2011 and the remaining three will be delivered in 2012.

Other elements of the PAF's force expansion include the purchase of four Erieye airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft from Sweden.
The PAF expects to receive the first of these aircraft by end of this year and the other three next year.
ACM Qamar said the PAF has also signed a contract for the purchase of four Chinese airborne early warning and control aircraft. The first of these is due to arrive in 2011 and the remaining three will be delivered in 2012.
