Jammers are offensive platforms. They don't do defensive patrol duties, AWACS do.

Sure, but we will need one available 24/7 right?

No we don't need it in peace time but only being use in war times means in offensive manners against the enemy

I get that bit, but in wartime one is not sufficient to provide a combat capability

You're right but according to various sources here we upgraded our old Falcon 20 fleet with latest Chinese jamming technologies, so we can gradually replace them with this latest jamming platform

PAF is planning to convert its Bombardier Global 6000 into a stand-off jamming (SOJ) aircraft to better equip itself for future incursions inside the Indian Air Space. The significance of this upgrade is underscored by the IAFs past limitations in EW, notably highlighted during 2019 dogfight with PAF. This forthcoming conversion project demonstrates PAF's offensive capabilities.Conversion of the aircraft will be achieved with help from Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). PAF will utilize TAI for Aselsan HAVSOJ suite. Aselsan HAVASOJ is equipped for three core EW missions: radar jamming, communications jamming, and electronic intelligence (ELINT).For radar jamming, the HAVASOJ uses transceivers to jam enemy radars by recording their transmission frequencies and re-transmitting them using the same signal. The HAVASOJ is equipped with digital radar frequency memory (DRFM) systems to help achieve this capability.In the ELINT role, the HAVASOJ would monitor an area for all enemy radar and communications transmissions. It will record that information in a ‘threat library,’ which would later feed electronic countermeasures (ECM) tasks, namely radar and communications jamming.

Pakistan-Turkey Team Up Against India – Ankara To Help Convert PAF’s Bombardier Global 6000 Into A Jamming Aircraft
Keeping pace with the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) modernization through the acquisition of French Rafales and indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas MK1A, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is gearing up to convert its lone Bombardier Global 6000 into a stand-off jamming (SOJ) aircraft with help...

Remote Electronic Detection and Electronic Attack Capability Acquisition Project on Air Platform (HAVASOJ) – GÖLGE Program
Remote Electronic Support and Electronic Attack (ED/ET) Capability Acquisition Project on the Air Platform (HAVASOJ) – In offensive air operations against threat countries, it is an integrated system integrated into the air platform for the purpose of listening to, confusing or deceiving all kinds of radar and communication facilities of the enemy without entering the threat zone. is the system.
The systems, whose critical mission system components will be designed and produced entirely with domestic resources, are integrated onto the aircraft in various ways. The HAVASOJ aircraft to be used during air operations will be able to perform coordinated missions with the ground support center at high altitudes for a long time. The aircraft will have the ability to detect and jam target elements from a long distance and will also be able to detect and eliminate radar and missile threats.

Horizon-7
PAF has begun designating its Erieye AEW&C as the ‘Horizon-7’.
PAF operates seven to nine Erieye systems, with the latest unit being inducted as recently as January 2024.
With the Saab 2000 as its aircraft platform, the Erieye is an S-band active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar with a range of 450 km. It also has five onboard mission operator consoles for managing connected air and surface assets for air-to-air and air-to-surface maneuvers.
Being an airborne radar system, the Erieye also gives the PAF with over-the-horizon (OTH) coverage, which it can leverage to monitor the airspace of its neighbours, especially India and Iran.
It appears that the PAF is standardizing its AEW&C fleet on the Erieye. Moreover, its latest unit – i.e., 23-058 – exhibited some different hardware compared to the PAF’s preceding Erieye units. This unit is unlikely to be the Erieye-ER, but it may have updates similar to Brazil’s E-99M, which is an upgraded Erieye system. That said, the PAF may seek the Erieye-ER in the future, but as an offensively oriented asset that can support its long-range strike wings.

" Integrated electronic warfare (EW) systems have emerged as essential and effective assets that operate in the background of most military operations.
The rise of drones has led to the modernization of EW systems to such an extent that now most combat EW (CEW) systems retain a sub-C-UAS capability in addition to traditional jamming roles, such as those of communications.
Pakistan, which had often remained shy from adopting EW at a large scale, seems to be building upon a significant domestic capability to locally produce and use a large portfolio of integrated communications intelligence (COMINT) EW systems.
In the past, foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEM) – notably Rohde & Schwarz (R&S), Siemens (now under Hensoldt), and Elettronica Group (ELT) – dominated Pakistan’s EW landscape, the trend now appears to be shifting towards domestic EW solutions. Three domestic manufacturers are Pakistan’s EW drivers: the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC), the Defence Science and Technology Organization (DESTO), and the National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP).
NRTC’s COMINT EW system is designed to detect, locate and jam communications falling across VHF, UHF, and SHF ranges located in a congested radio frequency (RF) environment. The system adopts purpose-built antennas that enable it to pick up weak signals. The system is split into ESM, ECM and command-and control (C2) vehicles. The system has communications link range of 30 km.
The C2 vehicle part of the COMINT EW system creates a ‘Communication Order of Battle’ using data collected from various DF sensors and acts as higher-level node for ECM and ESM sub-systems. The C2 system also has an inbuilt geo-fencing ability when linked with geographic information system (GIS) platforms.
PAF efforts to enhance its ground-based electronic warfare (EW) capabilities have progressed significantly over the past three years.
C-EW program is among the PAF’s flagship initiatives. With it, the PAF is aiming to develop a locally matured communications intelligence (COMINT) EW system (EWS).
At the 2024 International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS 2024), the PAF’s National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP) showcased what appeared to be a significantly upgraded variant of a previous land-based C-EW system.
The original system was heavily reliant on technology developed by Defence Science and Technology Organization (DESTO), with the main difference being the integration of a trailer-mounted advanced multi-band jammer
The new upgraded system not only retains the original electronic support measures (ESM) system’s passive detection and direction-finding module (mounted on an Isuzu 6×6 platform) but it also adds two new and distinct electronic countermeasure (ECM) jammers, designated EA-I and EA-II. These jammers feature multi-band arrays (mounted on Isuzu 4×4 trucks), thereby eliminating the need for trailers.
The 4×4 ECM trucks are self-sufficient, equipped with onboard power generation systems, thus enhancing their operational flexibility. While detailed specifications regarding the range of the system remain undisclosed, it is likely designed as a mid-range EWS solution.

Of NRTC’s publicly revealed EW capabilities, COMINT and SIGINT systems form the core of its offerings. These include the COMINT – i.e., electronic support measures (ESM) plus electronic countermeasures (ECM) system (ESM + ECM) – and a lighter mobile direction finding (DF) ESM system.NRTC COMINT EW System

- Data-link exchanges between airborne aircraft.
- Data-links between airborne platforms and ground-based command-and-control (C2) or ground exploitation states (GES), such as RecceLite GES.
- GPS/GNSS signals, effectively denying positioning and navigation capabilities to airborne assets, such as drones and, potentially, stand-off range weapons (SOW)."
