Sir
Do you know what the upgrade involves?
Araz

From what I remember.
1. Structural upgrade esp the wings.
2. Glass cockpit
3. Engine overhaul. I think.

Came across the following news item about a month back. There should be quite a few C-130H retired from USAF active fleet.

USAF study: C-130 fleet too big, cuts needed to modernize

Wonder if PAF has considered retiring its C-130B fleet and replacing the same with 2nd hand C-130H’s as an option?

Of course new one would be preferable if PAF could afford the same. My comment relates to extending life of C-130B versus used C-130H which is hell of lot more modern.

There may not be that much of a cost difference. Only question would be if USA would be willing to make these available. I was therefore wondering if PAF planners had looked into this option before committing to modernizing C-10B fleet.

China's Y20 transport makes progress.

China’s new Y-20 cargo aircraft is reportedly set to undergo high-altitude testing above the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The transporter has previously undergone cold weather testing , with China showing off a prototype of the new aircraft at the Zhuhai Airshow last November.

Pakistan must upgrade its C-130 fleet with better engines and avionics. We have the very basic and old models.

Really sir? Didn't know we had C-130Hs. If its true then probably my argument is invalid.
