Pakistan purchases six Swedish aircraft Saturday, June 02, 2007
LAHORE: After years of haggling and delays caused by political differences, Pakistan has finally closed a deal to obtain six AWACS aircraft from Sweden, reported Strategypage.com on Friday.
The purchased systems is a SAAB 2000 airliner mounting a Swedish Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which consists of thousands of tiny radars that can be independently aimed in different directions.
This is similar to the AESA radar used on the American JSTARS aircraft, enabling it to locate vehicles moving on the ground.
Pakistan is getting the six SAAB 2000s with the Ericsson PS-890 Erieye radar and another SAAB 2000 configured for regular (fifty seats) passenger service for $1 billion. daily times monitor

Besides, it is all part of deplomacy.
Rubbish.
Pakistan doesn't say 'don't give it to Hindustan', Pakistan only says, we want it as well. However, the Hindustanis, go around the world like some crazy people, spreading the message of anti-Pakistan hate, pleading to everyone not to sell any weapons to Pakistan. Do you remember, how Hindustan went running to UAE to stop the sale of Mirage 2000-5? Or how Hindustan jumped and freaked when America gave Pakistan the non-Nato ally status?

but did we accuse you about any whining?...no indian is pointing fingers here. We acknowledge what we are doing. and no rubbish...mushy was shouting when phalcon deal was signed. it is that which prompted you to buy something, if not same at least closer to phalcon from sweden.
^^ fact remains that india is a lot more whinier than pakistan
if india is whining more than pakistan, it is something which i dont care. Let them do, it is all diplomacy. But let's see....to what extent both have whined.
Major non-nato ally status was given to pakistan......india whined!
India tries to get a permanent member of UN security council......pakistan whined.
india gets phalcon.....pakistan whined
a nuclear deal is signed.....pakistan asks for a similar deal
do you have anything to add to the count. we will count in the end.
Pakistan gets 320 Tanks form Ukraine, india whined and then went running to Russia and bought 1,000 T-90 Tanks
Pakistan gets Naval Upgrades from USA like P3C Orion Aircraft, india whined saying these weapons are used to fight India and not hunt terrorists and as such Pakistan should not get these weapons
Till now india has tested or exploded 6 nuclear weapons. and in retaliation pakistan also explodes 6 of them just to say they are on par with india. …when it could have just blasted two or three of them:rotfl:
aaahhhh that reminds me of “change in tone” of Indian political leaders before and after Pakistan’s blasts…sarey paisey wasool ho gaeey theey 7 blasts k
