Pakistan Air Force Transport

. . . . .
I'll give you gents a hint. This is the BWI airport which also has a huge USAF Air Mobility Command logistics center. The following picture is from the same trip.

Hence, for a fact, it wasn't COVID related. The cargo was strictly 'military'

Look, if the C-130's don't come through - lets just ask the Chinese if they'd be willing to make an exception of selling some of these beauties.

Even having C130 PAF should look into them about 10 of them will be great.

It's not even the same class as C-130
When you make a statement like that, you need to clarify by which optics are you looking at.

When you say it isn't in the same Class as the C-130, do you mean:
  • C-130 is a Legend and can't be replaced by a Chinese Transport.
  • The Y-20 is a different type of Transport which should be compared with the C-17 Globemaster III.

Either way, if the PAF isn't able to acquire and/or replace its existing C-130's, then, now or down the road need to find a suitable replacement. Money is an issue, right now. It'll be there 3 Years from now and it'll be there 5-10 Years later too. Lets not talk about CSF. Lets not talk about finance from a certain Arab Country. Pakistan, the Nation is so in debt that it'll take a lifetime to get out of that ditch that we've been left in (-courtesy of past crooks).

The Y-20 is a pretty decent Transport a/c which is also looking to become a Refueler. Atleast we need not worry about parts and upgrades with our Chinese counterparts.

Is PAF still interested in acquiring used C-130s?

I sometimes think that PAF C-130s (16) should be converted into SIGNIT & Recon planes. Or like a small C4ISTR plane that can assist in the battle situations. These can be very helpful in war and in peace situations.
One to them is a Sigint plane. The one with extra antennas.

You mean C130 -30 (5 new and 4 used) ??

Zulus you mean heli 12 which were stored if am not wrong ? Question how Il78 can refuel them or these will be in one C130 sent for corvid iteam ?

@Blacklight
Cargo air craft are used to transport air craft of short ranges over long distances------aircraft are some what dismantled and strapped in the belly of the transport air craft.
