PAF J-10CE News Updates and Discussions part ll

If they really wanted to protect the plane, would they have not needed up to 2 AEW&Cs, 1 to cover 150km range to where the VIP will take off from and to act as the the rear guard and a second to shadow the VIP planes itself as it flew to Pakistan?

Really deoends on where and how the Iranians flew in, we just dont know enough abiut the op just yet.

Why would a AEWC Shadow the plane?
 
Exclusive: Iran negotiators, citing possible Israeli attack, got Pakistan escort home from peace talks

PAF escorted the Iranian delegation on their journey back to Iran using 20+ jets and a Saab 2000 Erieye
  • Escort was provided after discussions on Israeli threat, sources say
  • Pakistan deployed some 20 jets, AWACS for mission, sources say
  • Air force used its top jet, Chinese-made J-10, source says
  • Similar escort could be provided for next round, source says

8+2+AWACS , not 20 as reported
 
Reuters is not always reliable for various reasons including shift to AI.

But
There was a PAF element that escorted both Iranian and Pakistani delegations into Iran until the aircraft were both safely on the ground and personnel secured - this package involved whatever the PAF needed to both do escort and limited on station time along with complete air picture coverage.
 
the fact that Pakistan got the Iranian delegation to and from their destinations is remarkable achievement knowing the evil Israel will likely try to kill the negotiators as per their historical track record

then Pakistan also visited successfully and now we are looking at round 2

PAF J10CP must be clocking up the hours

Also, correct me if i am wrong they already have a FOB (kinda, with recent troops and planes) in KSA from where they can provide cover as well?
