At last i am listening about 3rd air refueling aircraft to Pakistan, any news about delivery of 4th?

 

[Gazzi]

lol, that post about bridging the gap with India..........it reminds me of the film armageddon, where they are trapped on the asteroid and the engines fail to switch. The Russain goes to help but is told by the female American Astranaut to not touch anything, as this is US tecdhnology...........he pushes her away and says, "American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!"

They both use the Russian engine right..........just made me chuckle thats all.........

chuckle is chuckle but change your perceptions about Russian technology.

Ok guys i have come to know that apart from already bought 4 il-78 MRTT , PAF has now option for even a 5th il-78 tanker ,for that airframe and code number have already been reserved

 

[araz]

ummmm we need at least 10 of them....

What for? So that the whole nation can slap Salan on it and eat their Naans from it? Bhai where will the money come from and why do we need 10 aerial refuellers, when their use given our fighting corridor is limited in any case. Once the Mirages go why would you need the 10 AR platforms?

Do we need these many; 5 of them?

I am wondering if these can also be used for transportation if required, if I am not wrong our armed forces do not have adequate air lift for transportation.

Yes the tanks can be removed in short time if needed.

are these planes brand-new, or lying there idle in ukraine (manufactured years ago but stored).
