In 2008, the PAF signed a contract with China Electronics Technology Group for the joint development of four ZDK-03 AWACS aircraft configured to Pakistan’s specifications.
PAF chief Air Chief Marshall Rao Qamar Suleman said the ZDK-03 AWACS will strengthen the PAF’s capabilities to maintain peace in the region.
Suleman said the AWACS was part of the PAF’s overall strategy of transforming itself into a lean and technologically advanced air force.
The PAF has also received two of four Saab-2000 AWACs aircraft ordered from Sweden, according to the Pakistan Observer.
