Well Pakistan , has only what 12-15 C130 crafts ?


Which is not sufficient to supply food & supplies to 700,000 strong army it has , and its just not sufficient even if we want to help our allies in operations with in our flying distance.


We really need about 40 C130 fleet for our minimum needs - in Pakistan let alone for operations outside of Pakistan.

Luckily we could also purchase the transport planes from China as they materialize to fill that gap in our Airfroce

Compare that to USA they have like 240 + C130 in their fleet vs 12 of ours etc and they also have 100-200 other planes and not to mention 1000+ sitting in retirement docks - for transport and supply usage

AZ - you are the most 'optimistic' guy on this forumbut your optimism shd make some sense - u r comparing our armed forces to that of a super power???

btw - supplies to our forces is made by 'other means', not just the C-130's

- Note: Erroneous reports in the local media suggested that 2 Il-78MP tanker aircraft were delivered to Pakistan on 2nd December 2008, with a further pair due to follow suit in the near future & the possibility of a fifth example also being acquired. Plans to acquire an AAR capability were mooted in 2006 & it has been confirmed that these are ex-Ukraine AF aircraft that have undergone overhaul & refurbishment. The first aircraft was delivered in late 2009 or early 2010, with the second following suit on 29th October 2010.

- Located at 10 Squadron

yes we have to think about the other resources like China a Russia and upto me the An70 or a IL-78 will be a nice selctions in place for the C-130 ... Any comment ?

the IL-78 is a tanker but the IL-76 is the transport version.....but these rusian beasts are not really reliable....alot of these crash and do not exactly fill you with confidence...although the An-70 will be good

il-78 is a MRTT mean multi-role tanker transport.you can convert them anytime for transport version or tanker version depending upon your need

my bad!!sorry......but these planes are still not very reliable kinds...4 are fine.....but to make them the backbone along with C-130 is not a good idea!
