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.

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.

India-Pak War: Pakistan's F-16 And 2 JF-17 Jets Shot Down By India
New Delhi: Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, India has shot down Pakistan Air Force's F-16 as well as two JF-17 aircraft after Pakistan tried to attack multiple locations in Jammu and Punjab, government sources said.

Earlier on Thursday, Pakistan made attempts to target several locations in India; however, Indian air defence guns shot down the intruding drones.


India also shot down Pakistan's Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) inside its Punjab province, sources said, adding that it fell on their side.

Meanwhile, drone attacks have also been foiled in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur and Rajasthan's Jaisalmer, and a drone was shot down in Akhnoor.

Two Kamikaze drones were also shot down in Poonch.

According to sources, the Indian SAM (Surface-to-air missile) shot down the F-16 fighter jet near the Sargodha air base.

Notably, F-16 is one of Pakistan's main fighter jets that it procured from the US. Along with it, the JF-17 is another crucial fighter aircraft. The F-16 fighter jets, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, were given to Pakistan in the late 1980s. These jets were also used by the Pakistan Air Force after India's Balakot air strikes in 2019.

Earlier, Pakistan also attempted a missile strike in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer region late on Thursday, prompting a swift response from India's air defence systems.

The air defence systems in the region have been fully activated to intercept and neutralise incoming threats. More than 70 missiles have been destroyed mid-air, preventing any damage to ground targets, sources said.

In a major escalation, Pakistan simultaneously attacked several locations in Jammu, including the airport. Rockets were fired at Jammu from across the International Border on Thursday night.

One of the drones hit the Jammu Civil Airport, prompting fighter jets to scramble in response. India activated its air defence systems, which successfully intercepted the incoming rockets.

Pakistani troops have also resorted to unprovoked shelling along the Line of Control in Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Samba, and Uri districts of Jammu and Kashmir late on Thursday evening.

Eight Pakistani missiles were intercepted by the S-400 air defence system over Jammu airport, Samba, RS Pura, Arnia, and nearby areas. Two Pakistani drones were downed near Jammu University.


The Integrated Defence Staff in a statement said, "Military Stations of Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur in proximity to the International Boundary, in Jammu and Kashmir targeted by Pakistan using missiles and drones. No losses. Threat neutralised by #IndianArmedForces as per standard operating procedure with kinetic and non-kinetic means."

The escalation by Pakistan followed less than 48 hours after India launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-
