Chinese weapons are fine, when used properly........its just that our defense budget is $6 billion vs Indias $60 billion man. They've got a shiit load more toys to throw into the mix and now we are seeing the results of this economic imbalance.

Pakistan needs to consult Iran here and develop a proper asymmetrical eco-system to counter India otherwise these Chinese donated weapons are not going to cut the mustard bro.

What we need is our own defense industry with dozens of missile types and drones like Iran is fielding and more importantly winning.

I'm sorry if Iran can have a world class AD system and a drone program and an over the top ballistic missile program, all under their own steam, then we are not stupid people and we should replicate their progress.

Iran is our neighbor, not some country out in Europe or the west.

@Lulldapull

So now its come down to one or two supposedly instead of 6 no?

I've consistently warned Pakistani's to not over claim, only to walk back claims or back-peddle tall claims and get insulted/ lose credibility in public.

How many times has that happened?

 

[Lulldapull]

Kya hai latest ? here our msm still showing yesterday raat ki clips

US has given India a green light to demolish the reputation of Chinese supplied air defenses and assorted weaponry to Pakistan.

This is exactly whats going on bhai.

Pakistan making wild claims and India quietly accomplishing what it wants to no?

$6 billion dolla military vs $60 billion dolla military bhai......

Seedhi seedhi baat hae......no amount of Chinese help will change this equation no?

That other forum so polluted with nonsense and junk claims, you can't stay over there bhai. Total full of chutiya people dat other forum.

Aaap k 9 madarsay saari dunya k saamnay India nay urra diye, and yous can't even react other than fake twitter doctored up memes?

I got sick of that forum.

How Chinese weapons are fine? China sales HQ 9 but buys S400. China claims that they have fifth generation plane but goes and buy Su30 and Su35. Name a nation who has fifth generation plane and yet buys 4th generation plane. Chinese weapon's reliability is totally exposed. Nothing worked. Jf17, J10, Hq9, HQ16, PL-15. All proved to be junk. HQ16 near Lahore was shot down by Indian drone.

India shoots down Pakistan's AWACS: Know all about Pakistan's air defense system​

New Delhi:
On the evening of May 8, Pakistan initiated a drone and missile attack targeting several cities in India. In a significant response, India retaliated with a similar level of force. As part of its countermeasures, India successfully shot down an Advanced Warning And Control Systems (AWACS) aircraft belonging to the Pakistan Air Force within Punjab province in Pakistan. For the unversed, AWACS are airplanes with a large radar-dish mounted on the top of the airframe. These airplanes, with their high-powered radar, act as eyes in the skies. These airborne warning systems are more capable than ground mounted radars, due to land-based radars' physical limitations of the Earth's curvature limiting their field-of-view.




Pakistan currently operates nine AWACS (Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems). In 2006, the country ordered four Saab-2000 Erieye AWACS from Sweden, followed by the purchase of four ZDK-03 AWACS from China in 2008. However, the Chinese AWACS were retired in 2024. Pakistan has also expanded its fleet by adding three more Erieye aircraft each in 2017 and 2020. Given the retirement of the Chinese AWACS, it’s possible that the one India shot down could be a Saab-2000 Erieye. Here’s what you need to know about this aircraft.

Saab 2000 Erieye​

The Saab 2000 Erieye is a comprehensive AWACS system that offers multi-role and multi-mission capabilities, catering to both military and civil applications. The Erieye covers a significantly broader area than traditional ground-based sensor systems. Its effective surveillance radius exceeds 500,000 square kilometers horizontally and reaches over 60,000 feet vertically. The sea coverage is only limited by the horizon, allowing it to detect and track a variety of targets, from fighter jets and hovering helicopters to cruise missiles and even Jet Ski-sized objects.

The radar is designed to swiftly detect and track objects with high precision and an impressive update rate. The system boasts an endurance of over nine hours and a range that exceeds 2,000 nautical miles (3,705 kilometers).

At present, the Indian Air Force (IAF) operates a total of five AWACS aircraft. This includes three Israeli EL/M-2090 Phalcon systems mounted on Russian IL-76 A-50E/I heavy-lift jets, which were purchased in 2004 and inducted into service in 2009. Additionally, the IAF has two Netra Mk-1 systems that are mounted on Brazilian Embraer business jets and were brought into service in 2017.
