Il78 PAF tanker left Germany and went to Ankara, Turkey.

Is it acting as transporter for PAF f16 MLU parts?
 
. . .
Does the PAF carry out cold weather testing on its aircraft? Maybe to ensure it will work in the Northern region when required?

that can be done at Skardu - no need to fly all the way to germany!:cheers:

Well, maybe it's the facilities in Germany that make it worth flying there. Many European car manufacturers perform cold weather testing in either Sweden or Canada, not because they can't hove cold weather anywhere else, but the facilities here are purpose built.

Are you aware of any special facilities in Skardu?

May be it was in Germany on its way back to Pakistan from somewhere and was making a stop, as its a MRTT, meaning it can be used for transport purposes too.

Plus, who knows its picking up something for our JF-17, as something comes from Germany too, which is fitted in JF-17.

From the serial and Pak flag, it seems its a fully inducted plane in the PAF and is on official duty.

A few days back the R001, was seen at the Chinese city of Chengdu, where JF-17 was developed.

PAF using these as transporters for the time being.

PAF officials Visited TAI in December for F-16 MLU overview.

why would the PAF still 'carry' the PIA livery? - very surprising!
