Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

when did PAF fly the H-6?

@Oscar likely meant the H-5, the Chinese variant of the IL-28. The PAF had flown 16 H-5s as "B-56s"; they were inducted after 1965 and retired before 1971.

No -- from one of the official PAF history books, the B-56 (H-5) was inducted in 1966 and then phased out in 1969.

Fair, but it was evidently inducted into service, albeit for a short time.
