PAF should configure JF-17s and J-10s fuel tank, to perform the task of air to air refueling, accommodating each other with enough fuel if run out to land safely, as it will be very cost effective for Il-78 to do that job.
But the primary job for providing extended fuel to squadrons will be performed by Il-78!

J-10 has the capability of A-t-A Refueling , JF-17 wount have any problems everything will come with time.
a small question for all aviation fans.
PAF broke the record of doing a loop with 16 f-86 sabers, does any one know what happed after the loop?

Dec 4th 1971 was the longest day in the history of PAF in dekha 14 sqd.

I would like to know that we heavily invest in multi role platform but what about taking a look at some dedicated platforms like Tornado to replace A-5's?

Do write about it, would love to know more. The relative of mine who took part in the loop died in an air crash in the 60s while serving with the PAF. I sent you a pm about it too.

There is a two seat version of J10 which would be the ideal platform for this role.
