An-70 is a dead program, the Ukrainians are focusing their efforts on the An-178.Why PAF & PN are not looking into An-70s?? Pakistan has good relations with Ukraine and also testing T-84 Oplot-Ms then why not test An-70s which may come with TOT and can be used in various roles too.

We'll see when the An-70 is inducted with the Ukrainian forces, but until then, I wouldn't count on it being a genuine option, much less a serious contender on the market. But in support of your point, the Ukrainian MoD ordered the An-70's production in January, let's hope for the best. An-70 looks promising.Its not dead because I have posted official link of the Antonov website which clearly shows this bird is available in market.
It can be opportunity for Pakistan to finance this project and get TOT of this bird, allowing its use in various mission profiles civilian & military.

you forget that Pakistan is a ghareeb mulk? Our Transport Fleet is a well established Hercules shop. If they upgrade, it would be H models or J models, but not something from Russia/Ukraine.What I think is that it is an opportunity for Pakistan to get an advance plane with TOT which can be utilized for various mission profiles like MRTT, MPA, AWACS, civil use etc.
@Donatello @fatman17 sir, what about the Ilyushin Il-78's....I heard they were pretty old ones when we got them...though they were advanced....are they expected to undergo any upgrades ??

I personally think the Y-20 should be the future option...its massive

It would have to be used, anything new (including C-130-J) would be cost prohibitive.you forget that Pakistan is a ghareeb mulk? Our Transport Fleet is a well established Hercules shop. If they upgrade, it would be H models or J models, but not something from Russia/Ukraine.
They need a engine and cockpit upgrade badly. They are restricted from landing at some foreign airports bcuz of noise pollution.
