    Indian EMB-145 AEW&C

    NATO shares a common data link LINK-16 I think. The eyrie is for Mirage-iii/f-16's while the chinese plane can only data link to F-7/JF-17 etc.

    Indian EMB-145 AEW&C

    They plan 5-8 AWACS (Phalcon + AWACs India) and 12-16 AEW like the one from CABS-EMBRAER. Given Indian borders it makes sense to have them. The ZDK03 is nowehere as good as Eyerie even (except in range). It was bought because the swedes would not let it data link with the chinese fighters.

    Indian EMB-145 AEW&C

    Pakistan needed the eyerie because the Phalcon (which can look into kabul airspace) scared them. The chinese awacs are technologically inferior to eyerie and couldn't be data linked to F-16 or Mirage-III's.

    Indian EMB-145 AEW&C

    Not bad the radar seems pretty good 300+ km for fighter aircraft's is a good enough start. Though the coverage needs to be improved from 240 to 360 degree. I guess the AWACS India project is where they plan to implement it.
