Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

Sorry @Dubious . Will do better. Im just tired of people coming here passing info with no evidence to back up claims. Then go and attack other members who challenge the claim or ask for evidence. If you dont know or someone corrects you or asks for more info, we dont need give edicts from on high. But @rollingrock i apologize for descending into incivility.

Theoretically speaking, is it possible for an AEW&C or EW aircraft to assume the flight plan of a passenger jet and fly over (or close to) an otherwise hostile protected airspace, deep enough (or close enough), inconspicuously and then start providing EW cover to an ingress package on approach?

If so, what is the best way to counter such a possibility other than closing airways?

It should be possible to prove such an event if it occurs too, so are there international laws that forbid such misuse of passenger jet identity or is it still unchartered territory?

After all, it is literally like putting the lives of other passenger jets in the vicinity or between hostile countries, in danger of getting shot.

No it is not possible. Civil aircraft have designated flight paths and those are communicated ahead of time. Also, it would be pretty easy to spot an aircraft deviating from said flight path not to mention a plethora of other means by which it would be caught.

Hi,

Yes it is---. A korean airliner was shot over russia a long time ago and a US congressman died in aircraft---.

The russians claimed that the korean aircraft would routinely navigate away from the flight route and fly over sensitive area---supposedly what was happening was another aircraft would be flying underneath the aircraft and spying over the russian military installations.

The russians shot the airliner down---.

So---yes they can fly--but won't fly---.

True, Korean airliner deviated from his flight plan (it was flying in no fly zone ) and the crew was not aware of it even though there were obvious signs, Russian thought that is a USAF reconnaissance plane and shot it down.
 
On paper yes. Otherwise no. Sepearte designated platforms would be required for C-EWS which is recognisable.

Probably AEW&C was not the right term used. EW is what I meant but...
