Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[subanday]

Syed Yusuf, When are we going to apply common sense to this simple matter ? Remember Rehman malik and other official statements right after attack that one was damaged with nose cone ? And go back few pages, where secretary defense and and assistant secretary defence claimed one was completly destroyed. This is the GOP that provided the information.

How this to be a sensitive matter for PAF? Did PAF bought jets with their own money or with tax payer money ? When USA can hold a public inquiry in to F-22 crases and release the report detailing why F-22 crashed public, Is SAAB more sensitive than F-22 ?

So if you still want believe your mammay chachay in PAF who says 4 all are operational, then be my guest. We will stick what the higher authorities said. 1 destoryed, 1 damaged.

Sir, one ac survived, two damaged, one lost totally. Out of two damaged, one operational again. So two ac r operational.

Only one aircraft damaged and repaired

Only one aircraft damaged and repaired

Tusi khush raho bhai jaan....

Continue pushing the half-truths.

 

[ice_man]

why are the ZDK-03 AEW&C aircraf only being put up for our sea frontier surveillance?

are they inferior to Saabs in the sense that their range is limited and really cannot look over the border a great distance?

Continue pushing the half-truths.

As I have repeatedly said we dont know who is right in this one damaged and repaired VS 1 lost 2 damaged of which one repaired. I guess only time will tell and by that time people who should have been taken to task will have long gone.

They aren't, one of them is already stationed at Mushaf AB (Sargodha), and hangar constructions are being done at Rafiqui (Shorkot), Minhas (Kamra), Risalpur and Samungli (Quetta).

This brings a question in my mind which is let us assume that there is only one erieye which we have seen in the recent time in regards to 6th September Paf Videos and there is already hanger built for the erieye's so my question is that we have space to accommodate the single zdk-03/KE why we have to build a new shell for one plane there could be one reason that swedes didn't allowed us to put the remaining erieye with KE.your thoughts Guys

Sea surveillance is a lot more complicated than air surveillance. The radar was trailed for a long period prior to the first order. The radar is said to meet the technical and operational requirements of PAF. A radar that can pick out sea targets is lot more sophisticated.

The squadron is based at Masroor AFB, but AOR is all sectors. The Chinese AW&C is well integrated with the PAF ADGE, and the CONOPS of GCI is being transformed to Air Control and NCW. This transformation will effectively change how PAF takes to the skies

That is for dispersion. Sq is at Karachi.

I am assuming PAF might want another squadron of 4 AWACs from China?

Not currently on the cards.

 

[ice_man]

Sir, one ac survived, two damaged, one lost totally. Out of two damaged, one operational again. So two ac r operational.

yes 2 aircrafts operational after one being repaired and that SAME one undergoing trials before being re inducted.

so total would stand at two operational after another month.

4th zdk-03

The delivery of the 4th ZDK-03 was delayed, probably due to certain upgrades such as a new datalink. ZDK-03 is expected to serve as the airborne command & control center for the JF-17 fighter fleet currently in service with PAF.
The latest rumor (June 2015) suggested that the AWACS may be upgraded with a fixed AESA radar in the future similar to the one on board KJ-500.

The first ZDK-03 (S/N 11-001) was delivered to PAF in December 2011. The 2nd (S/N 12-002, formerly 11-002) was delivered some time later. The third (S/N 13-003, formerly 12-003) was delivered in 2013. The delivery of the 4th ZDK-03 was delayed, probably due to certain upgrades such as a new datalink. ZDK-03 is expected to serve as the airborne command & control center for the JF-17 fighter fleet currently in service with PAF. However it does not have the secure NATO datalink installed to effectively command western fighter aircraft such as American F-16. Therefore ZDK-03 operates together with Saab-2000 in a "high-low" combination in order to coordinate various Chinese and western made combat aircraft effectively. The latest rumor (June 2015) suggested that the AWACS may be upgraded with a fixed AESA radar in the future similar to the one onboard KJ-500.- Last Updated 10/3/15
