Nope, write off was replaced, think it may be 10

Worth highlighting that the PAF currently operates 12 Erieyes, including 05 later-inducted “ER” variants. While exact figures are not public, the general consensus places the Erieye ER’s detection range at around ~600–650 km Vs ~500 km for the earlier version.

There have also been unconfirmed reports suggesting that the older Erieyes may be undergoing MLU to ER standard at PAC Kamra. Notably, in the post-clash briefing the following day, the PAF spokesperson confirmed that the Erieye ER was part of the 7th May night package.

As always, the PAF has kept details regarding the Erieye fleet and Blinders Squadron fairly limited — and at times somewhat confusing — in the public domain.

Would not surprise me, after Kamra attack SAAB qouted an insane price for repairs, PAF went ahead and did it alone and even got Saab to certify the work as OEM quality!

With that experiance we learnt a lot about the Erieye

There’s no evidence PAF operates the ER variants of the Erieye.

how many Erieye are operational with PAF is it 6, 7 or 9 ?

Pakistan has 9 photo-confirmed Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C aircraft serials (03-051, 04-052, 05-053, 06-054, 10-049, 20-057, 19-060, 19-061 and 23-058), of which 10-049 was destroyed in the 2012 Kamra attack, leaving 8 confirmed operational aircraft today, with 23-059 remaining unconfirmed

We need to have 1-2 for KSA, because given the rising threat from the "Gods Chosen" people, I think PA troops, jets and a AWACS can give us some time if they decide to get naughty with us again.

Then they better be paying for them

 

[White Privilege]

Saudis have Saab 2000 Erieye of their own!

For what purpose I wonder, there was no mention of their participation against Iran attacks.

 

[Starlord]

Then they better be paying for them

only time will tell, also even if KSA pays for the stuff no one will acknowledge it officially .

Yeah, participate or not, for Iranians and their lovers , all Arabs are "Zionists " and more of a legitimate target than Israel.
Go figure that out .

 

[rafale]

I think Pakistan had 6 original SAAB2000 ERIEYEs, one was written off in kamra attack, leaving 5.

Then 2 more were bought and another 2 bought later. So that makes it 9.

@side-windert

To make it simple
Option 1
total ordered 9 one written off that leaves 8 operational by and large ... or

Option 2
Total ordered 10 , one written off , 9 operational by and large

Is Pakistan’s NASTP Upgrading the PAF’s Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C? - Quwa

A still from a recent PAF promotional video suggests that NASTP is studying a structural upgrade of the Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C. Quwa examines what the front-fuselage changes might involve – from an ESM/ELINT fit to a longer-term GaN radar retrofit – and why the most accurate framing is a...

I am not surprised as there have been some rumors that PAF is looking into a structural and avionic upgrade to give Saab 2000 AEWCS 360 coverage by adding a new generation GaN-based locally designed and integrated AESA radar in the front nose and rear fuselage. Like having two nose cones. There were also rumors to add EW pods and AIR pods to the remaining 9 PAF Saab 2000 AEWCS and 2 of those of KSA AF.

Anyway, it is about twice as many as India with less then a 5th of the landmass to cover
