Pakistan Air Force Transport

[Yasser76]

Airbus stopped converting A310's in favour of A330's.

In what sense of the world is the A330 an "older plane"?

Nobody is buying new A330s anymore, the 787 and the A350 has replaced.
The A330neo exists for a limited neiche.

No one is buying SAAB 2000s anymore but they are still modern and effective....

If Pakistan has a few billions to spare they should consider seizing the opportunity and invest in Embraer. They're struggling especially after the deal scuttled by Boeing.
And they have KC390 in the works(not sure if it's ITAR free) even if it's not ITAR free. You can still sell it and make money(FDI).

Understand PAF used C-130 to drop napalm in 1965. Canisters of napalm were simply pushed out of the door. There is however a C-130 Gunship in existence and was used in the Vietnam war.

However Hon Keyseoze is right, PAF is short of heavy lift capaccity and use of C-130's as bombers should be last resort.

With advent of smart gliding kits for smart bombs
There have been scenarios where c130 type plane used as bombers like moab dropped from one

Hi isn’t it possible for PAF to install long range fire control radars in their air refuler so those can be used for ALCM for longer range or ASHM missiles
beside Pl15
thank you
