Traveling on a Turboprop is usually much more bumpy than a jet. So lets see how this type will be received by the market.
Don't really see military applications for this one. Apart from AEW&C/AWACS, MPA, EW, ISR etc few limited/specialized roles.
Part of me still feels Pakistan missed out by not investing in Embraer. But I could be wrong.
