Noted that these are and will be the last off of the production line Pakistan Should try to negotiate and pursue these air crafts as they can be refitted to serve as fuel tankers or the conventional rapid transport of our troops at the our of need with provided assistance from saudi Arabia these units can be aquired.

First Picture of C-17 ‘Globemaster’ for Indian air force surfaces.

 

[Tipu7]

Right now C130 are sufficient for our requirements. IF we ever need a big beast then instead of expensive C17 we will go for Y20 heavy transport

Saudi isn't going to buy anything for us. Pakistan doesn't really get involved in international wars and it's defence equipment can be easily transported within it's borders using the current resources. It might be nice but it's probably a bit overkill given the price.

Well you just start the thread to Ask them to Don't stop production line of C-17??

We can't afford C-130J model and you are talking about C-17s, and what India ordered it become off limit to Pakistan.

it is a little bit of overkill for Pakistan

 

[Established_1965]

Please buy anything other than Chinese. . Too many Chinese weapons

Why is that? it's just a transporter

It's too ugly. Please no more Chinese :-/

 

[Super Falcon]

You is cheaper than C 17 Y20 looks cool to me

 

[airmarshal]

A $350 million plane thats cost around $450 with all options and training.

If Pakistan has this much money, it can easily buy commercial jets from Boeing for PIA. The cost of maintenance and cost to operate will be very high too for C-17s. On top that, we dont really have a need for it.

Y20 is a good option but the engine for Y20 is still an issue.
