Pakistan Air Force Transport

[mingle]

If Pakistan has a few billions to spare they should consider seizing the opportunity and invest in Embraer. They're struggling especially after the deal scuttled by Boeing.
And they have KC390 in the works(not sure if it's ITAR free) even if it's not ITAR free. You can still sell it and make money(FDI).

If PAF has billions Boeing will scuttled again Embraer

If PAF has billions Boeing will scuttled again Embraer

How will Boeing interfere when we are dealing directly with Embraer?
Also what is more worth doing paying billions for a couple squadrons and having to accept nothing but peanuts(or soybeans)? Or investing in a company where you can have your cake and eat it and sell the cake to other folks and make money.

Y9 is a possibility with western engines and glass cockpits

Any chances to see Y9 or Y20 in PAF colour ?

Y9 is a possibility with western engines and glass cockpits

Why not choose C-130 or A-400M directly?

Our plans regarding C130 fleet expansion are still intact. Alongside, PAF is looking at two additional options for supplementing it's transport and cargo fleet.

So, PAF will eventually going to get the Chinese transport option?

• 10+ Y-X (anything similar to CN-235/295)
• 20+ Y-9
• 10+ Y-20

 

[fatman17]

It's a risk but the engines currently on the Y9 may not pass the hot and high conditions tests just like the Z10.

[fatman17]

Doubt it very much

New aircraft are very costly. Pakistan has always preferred to buy used airframes and upgraded them, eg, 6 C130 from Australia and much recently 4 IL78 from Ukraine. They purchased 4 CN235 which were new but got a good deal from Indonesia.

Why not choose C-130 or A-400M directly?
