| China to showcase AWACS in Pakistan |
| 2006-07-31 |
| ISLAMABAD: A Chinese defence delegation will soon visit Pakistan to showcase their country’s Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) – following Islamabad’s recent announcement to purchase a similar Swedish system, sources have said. The AWACS is believed to be the most cost effective and powerful system for early warning, and command and control missions. According to sources, Pakistan needs a surveillance device to ensure the security of its borders and underwater communication system |

| #6 It was an EP-3 they forced down, not an AWACS. |

| #4 How much of the internals are back engineered from the Navy craft they hijacked in international airspace? |

| #2 I'll bet it looks a lot like the AWACS the Paks wish they could have bought from us. Interesting which weapons systems we hold back. |

| #1 Might be interesting to see if the Paks can even fly one right. If they do (with chinese "Advisers") it will be even more interesting to see how well the Chinese AWACS work. |
