Pretty compelling points by Pravin Sawhney.
I am quite interested in the 2 things he mentioned regarding the the stuff China is "giving" Pakistan.
1. Radars
2. EW Jets
Any(one) have clue as to what Mr. Sawhney is referring to...
Something we may have seen at the Zhuhai Airshow last year.
Look at this bad boy in terms of Radar...
And I believe he used the term "EW Jets". If memory serves, the only EW Jets China has are the J-15D, which basically are the EA-18G (the Growler of the PLAAF).

There are plenty of things mentioned. Thoughts, guys?

I think he is talking in generic terms of radars and EW, versus specific platforms. China has a lot of ground based EW equipment as well. Personally I don't see the J16D ever operating in the PAF as it will be too small a fleet to be commercially viable, and the focus on aerial EW will be HAVSOJ and potentially the ZDK-03s of which one has been upgraded.
Additionally the DA20's were upgraded recently, but the aerial platform itself is getting quite old, so it would be interesting to see if the PAF decides to rehouse that equipment in a new plane down the road or not.
PS - that anti-stealth platform looks kick-ass. Very different from the usual radars.
