Pakistan K-8 should be armed with air to ground weapons and and join the Operations in FATA it would be a good training for the Pilots !

So now how many does we have??? I think we should place an order for about 70 of these...

Not sure if this already happening or planned but can K-8 be upgraded lets say to have better avionics, engine, plus adding IFR Probe ?

PAF K8's already have western avionics and powerplant.

I wish that PAC will assemble the k-8 till 55-70 have been reached then worked with Chinese on its block-II version with much improvement in every way.... and then produce 70 of them to replace older K-8s in the inventory.
