After big loss in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan inducts new surveillance aircraft that will blind the enemy radar from 500 km, its name is…

New Delhi: During Operation Sindoor in early May, India(BHARAT) shot down two AWACS surveillance aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force. One of the Pakistani AWACS was shot down by India(BHARAT)’s S-400 air defense system from a distance of 314 kilometers, while the other was destroyed in the attack on the airbase. This has reduced the surveillance capability of the Pakistan Air Force by about 70 percent. But now, according to the latest report, the Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft has been included in the Pakistan Air Force, whose surveillance capability is claimed to be 500 km.

How has Pakistan modified the Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft?

The Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft is to enhance an electronic warfare capability. In this, Pakistan has installed the Aselsan HAVA SOJ system with the help of Turkey, which will increase its ability to stand-off jamming and surveillance of enemy air defense (SEAD/DEAD). With the help of Turkish defense companies Aselsan and Turkish Aerospace Industries, Pakistan has converted this aircraft into a surveillance electronic warfare aircraft.

How much will the capability of the Pakistan Air Force increase?

This surveillance aircraft is equipped with Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA)-based Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) jammers, wideband electronic intelligence (ELINT) sensors, communication denial systems and radar deception equipment.

It is claimed that this aircraft is capable of disrupting enemy networks from a distance of more than 500 km. The biggest advantage that the Pakistan Air Force will get from this is that it can disrupt the enemy’s network while being at stand-off range from a very high altitude, while it makes a safe path for its attack squadron. According to sources, this aircraft has already joined the Pakistan Air Force and is being integrated into the strategic mission planning of the Pakistan Air Force.

What does Pakistan say about this aircraft?

A senior Pakistan Air Force official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Khyber Mail newspaper that “the induction of this aircraft is a significant leap in our ability to shape the electronic warfare space. The Global 6000 equipped with HAVA SOJ provides us with a persistent high altitude electronic warfare capability, thereby strengthening our defence position.”

Turkey has already converted several Global 6000 aircraft for the Air Force under its HAVA SOJ program, and Pakistan’s variant has been specially designed keeping in mind regional threats.
