There’s a news floating around that Pakistan is to purchase six EMB-145 AEWACS( Airbrone Early Warning and Controls Systems) from the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, Embraer. Four jets for PAF, and two for the Navy.
A very fascinating development,** if true**. This jet is laden with Ericsson radar, control and warning systems and can illuminate low flying objects within a radius of roughly 240 kms.

I haven’t read anything pertaining to this matter in JDW or any other defence journals. Just wondering, if anyone else has more info in this regard or following a similar story.
