Shaanxi Y-8 Military Transport Aircraft, China

[SBD-3]

sir is this have better radar than out sweedish system and why paf wants to buy only turbine blades like aircraft for awacs role and is what type of radar is mounted on this like of E 2 round shaped or our sweedish shape radars and why not pakistan buyed IL 76 and put that aesa on that aircraft IL 78 will have been better choice than this aircraft

AFAIK....Turboprop aircrafts are more fuel efficient as compared to jets engine beasts thus can stay in the air for longer periods, what AWACS is meant to do. if the System can be fitted on a small airframe like Y-8 then why to go for a bigger expensive and relatively more fuel thirsty AC like Il-78..
