@Deino Can you please update the status of all ZDK's in Pakistan service?
Not on active duty, official stance is "retired/grounded" but rumors are that all 4 were sent back to China to be graded to KJ500/700 standards.....which remains to be seen.
They’ll take out the entire dome then since the KJ-500 radar does not rotate. This does correspond to the rumor that the ZDK planes had their radars “snipped”.
So PAF ZDK's status unknown at the moment. Could be Reitred/ Grounded / Upgraded. Whether in Pak or in China.
@Deino If retired or grounded, what chinese options PAF can explore in AWACS
Lol. As per the writer in editorial page, author claims that J-20 has already been inducted in PAF. J-35 will reach PAF in August. A discounted deal of 50% has been signed. So all the good good good for Pakistan.
Now, the writer is a seasoned and respected political activist but when you dont know about something, its good to keep ones mouth shut. Better silent than sorry.
