Why not invest in new 21 Y-9 from China....
For three reasons:
1- Y-9 is a new platform and just got into production recently
2- C130 is perhaps the most robust and versatile transporter out there and PAF has infrastructure and facilities in place to handle them.
3-If you actually look at it, Pakistan is not a huge country, doesn't need massive airlift capabilities. A lot of the stuff can be transported by rail and road in a short span of time, other than of course valuable/high value cargo.
Most of the time the transport fleet in Pakistan is busy dealing with natural calamities.
