What's new

First pictures of PAF IL-78 aerial refuller!

Are these the first ever Pakistan's Airiel Refuler Aircrafts or there were any in the past ?

Great Pics . Nice Developement yet after the Russian Rd-17 Engines.
 
No leasing. The very first one that has been used for training and familiarization has been sent off to Pakistan as part of the overall contract. The actual 4 Midas platforms have been purchased by the PAF.

the IL 78 cannot refuel the F16 .F16 can be refueled only by k130
 
Any news pakistan looking for KC series for F16 refueling ?
 
these a/c are not new but are used aircraft which have undergone a complete overhaul - these are not leased but have been purchased outright ATMI.

According to PAF personal from chaklala who i talked to said that PAF is only leasing them. Last year 2 il-78 without pakistani flag came here for testing and evaluation and were sent back.
 
Its kind of weird, PAF is going for IL-76 and IAF has purchased C-130. Looks like both Air forces likes what the others have...

2010 is going to be one NICE year for PAF, First JF-17 squadron, F-16s, Refuellers, AWACs, with F-16s comes the BVR capability.....whoooo hooo.:)
 
if idian can accepet the american technology than y not pakistan accepet russian technology by the way russian are not our enemies
 
:what: Leased? Says who? Is there any proof that these tankers are being rented and not owned by the PAF?
If it is leased then it must be finance lease. Like you pay in installments and get the ownership.
