Nope, no use whatsoever. What do you have in mind BTW?

 

[Imran Khan]

I have heard that Australia is considering retiring their C130Hs, so it would make sense to pick these up cheap and then overhaul them in PAC bringing them back to virtually new!!.

always we look 2nd grade garbage of others? common man pak forces need heavy lifters new and gun ship helicopters gov should provide them .

when you don't have money, then make do with the 2nd hand stuff, and C130 are great aircraft and these c130h are good and after they have been renewed by PAC they could go on for another 10/15 years while giving us great airlift capability.

Of course of Pakistan turns a new leaf and 1 concentrates on the economy and 2 collects taxes, then yes would love to see new stuff inc c17 if our pockets become deep enough. In the meantime we have 2 hot borders and we need to get what we can, with the means we have now.

You providing the funds?

 

[muse]

You providing the funds?

Come on now, there is no shortage of funds, what there is, is mismanagement and really all kinds of funding and FDI will show up IF Pakistan clean up it's act and instead of dealing with the Islamist terrorist enemy and their ideology with kid gloves, decides and shows the world that Pakistan have turned a corner.

Sir,

We have no money. We are completely broke.

See, the government gets money from two sources:

The state owned enterprises which in case of Pakistan, like PIA, Pakistan Railways are bankrupt and loss making,

second, from citizens who pay taxes and customs. hardly anyone pays taxes.

Now tell me, where will the government get the money from?

Any revenue the government generates, a large part of it goes back to paying back the loans from IMF and other nations.

Now tell me, where will the government get the money from?

Where it always gets money from - Donors. and IFI
