Pakistan Air Force bolsters its aerial surveillance capabilities with a new Saab Erieye aircraft, expanding its fleet to at least 7-9 units. This advanced radar system boasts a 450 km detection range and seamless data-link connectivity, enhancing situational awareness and coordination. PAF’s Erieye journey began in 2006 with initial orders, subsequent acquisitions, and repairs following an attack, bringing the fleet to its current size. This latest addition showcases the PAF’s continued commitment to strengthening its early warning and surveillance capabilities.In May 2020, Saab revealed it had secured AEW&C sale for $160.5 million US from an unnamed buyer, with deliveries taking place between 2020 and 2023. This customer was revealed to be the PAF as it inducted an Erieye with the serial numbers ’20-057’ and (in December 2023) ’23-058.’
