but seem not practical, the radar mount too high, it create more balancing and resistance issue... than u should know why AEW plane always like using plane wing mount in bottom of airframe, jike like in Saab 340&300/145 R-99A，also B373 AEW etc... because wing mount in top of airframe will close to radar and block radar down side scan up to 20~25%. that why in picture they mount radar very high。

But would we prefer turboprop or jet engine? price tag and US restriction
US things always come with term and conditions. Rather get EU or russian stuff, no TnC as long u have the $$$
Panglima RMAF said before they prefer turbojet engine ....for AEW
AEW always best with long range turbojet plane (usually commercial jet retrofit) that why best for Erieye AEW is install in A319LR/CJ, buy A319LR it have 10,000km range, 11 hrs endurance fly, have speed, small (small than B373-800), AA/MAS can service, parts easy, Erieye use alot Thales system, eazy for Thales to re-trofit in A319LR. event big space enough to install front/rear radar to cover 360%, suface search radar at bottom airframe， price A319LR about usd 90 million，all system install estimated USD 200 million, value enough for AEW&C.

have to masuk integration cost also since nvr done before tat time value tak ada ad
have to masuk integration cost also since nvr done before tat time value tak ada ad
Integration not much, bcos erieye system already use in may AEW jet, it not re-develop entire system, just more like fit & finishing integration no new jet, all system move from existing move over to new A319 plane. my estimation Erieye system cost about usd 50 million, usd 50 million for integration cost. so cost around usd 200 million after add A319LR cost. max also no more than usd 250 million.

Philippines accuse Chinese coast guard vessels of intrusion and attacking 3 Filipino fishing boats
The Philippines said on Wednesday that a Chinese coast guard ship had rammed three Philippine fishing boats in the disputed Scarborough Shoal area of the South China Sea last week and Manila had protested to Beijing over the incident. China seized control of the area after a three-month stand-off with the Philippine coast guard in 2012. Beijing lays claim the entire South China Sea, which is believed to be rich in oil and natural gas deposits.
"The Philippines strongly protested China’s continuing actions to harass and prevent Filipino fishermen from legitimately pursuing their livelihood in that area," the foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Manila government handed over two protest notes to the Chinese Embassy in Manila, foreign ministry spokesman Charles Jose said. Calls to the Chinese Embassy seeking comment on the protests went unanswered.
Jose said the first protest was over the "intentional" ramming of three local fishing boats by a Chinese coast guard ship on Thursday, which had damaged the vessels and put the lives of fishermen at risk.
Indonesian Air Force wants to replace F-5 tigers with Sukhoi SU-35S
Rabu, 4 Februari 2015 22:14 WIB | 551 Views
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) wants more sophisticated fighter jets, such as Russias Sukhoi SU-35s, to replace its F-5 Tigers, Chief of the Air Force Vice Marshall Agus Supriatna has said.
He added that the Russian-made Sukhoi SU-35 meets the requirements of TNI-AUs weaponry system, Supriatna said after opening a leadership meeting of the air force here on Wednesday.
He expressed hope that the government will fulfill the desire of the air force and purchase Sukhoi SU-35s to reinforce its weaponry system to ensure security in the Indonesian airspace.
"We hope the government fulfills our wish to purchase Sukhoi SU-35s. All can place orders, but we, as the operators, want jets over generation 4 to be ordered," the air force chief remarked.
One of the reasons the TNIAU wants to purchase these jets is that they will be much easier for the air force to maintain.
"We hope our technicians do not face any problems with the Sukhoi planes. It is important that we purchase jets from the newer generations," Supriatna noted.
Furthermore, the Russian government supports Indonesias wish to buy the multipurpose fighter jet Sukhoi SU-35 to enhance the countrys air force.
"We hope the agreement to buy SU-35s can be realized. Military cooperation between the two countries was established a long time ago. We want to maintain that," Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Mikhail Galuzin said late last month.
The ambassador added that the Russian government was ready for the same if Indonesia decided to buy Su-35s.
In addition, Galuzin pointed out that there was also potential for cooperation to be achieved between the two nations in various fields, including construction, military, and nuclear energy.
"Russia believes that there is potential for cooperation with Indonesia in the construction and military sectors, among others. Also, if Indonesia is willing, we are ready to help in the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes," Galuzin stated.
The Indonesian government is still deliberating over whether it should buy new fighter jets to replace the old F-5 E Tigers.
Indonesian Military Commander Moeldoko listed several options for new fighter jets, such as Sukhoi SU-35, Eurofighter Typhoon, SAAB JAS-39 Gripen, and F-16 Block 52+.
Currently, the country operates two types of Sukhoi jets, the Su-27 and Su-30 MK2, which stand by at the Sultan Hasanuddin Airbase of Makassar.(*)
