Pakistan Air Force Transport

Pakistan - Air Force C-130E Hercules (L-382) at Pardubice, Czech Republic, January 25, 2007

Has any one ever seen so many AWACs typo communication antennas under Fuselage of any PAF C-130 before. This is one strange looking bird. I guess it is converted for ELINT/ECM purposes, anyway shed some light Bros.
here's an collection of this bird Photo Search Results | Airliners.net

Most probably it's the one which is being used by Pakistan Army for surveillance purposes in FATA and it has FLIR in it's nose. Communication antennas in my opinion is for communicating with ground forces

Although I was with the fact that the PAF should have a transport fleet like this:
21 Y-9Ps
11 CN-295P instead of CN-235s
7 Il-78 for tanker and transport duties.

Good find. It is some kind of VHF/UHF/SATCOM antennas. The ELINT C-130 has following small rotating ball under its nose.
