PAF could have look towards 11 of these along with the present C-130 which was facing spare problems in 1980s:

WHY these ships? Maybe it's just me but what about learning from history (sanctions)?

 

[fatman17]

transall 160 are obsolete aircraft. i'd rather buy more C-130's.

In there sits the person who controls the aerial refueling probes.

Keeps an eye on the aircraft being refueled.

okay, you might be correct for IL-78, but its a gun post in IL-76.

More C-130s refurbish and upgrade them and most importantly them all upgrade to the glass cockpit.

Anybody else living in Rwp or Isb hearing and seeing a C-130 flying low for the past 3 hours?

Somebody's training real hard to get night time flying hours under his belt!

Well; it could be that. Or there is some flap on.

Someone said that they heard faint noises similar for a long time, could very well be it!

It used to be a gun turret on the Il-76s. Not anymore. The Soviets discontinued that quite some time ago. Now many of the Il-76 Candids do not even have any glass windows there anymore.

C-130 buzzing past my house for the last hour or so.

So low it feels as if I could touch it!

Really Awesome. The last time I experienced such low flying over Isl was when the 2005 earthquake came.

Or is this some sort of a Training Exercise or something ?

Touch it...I dare you !

But then that would require more Jigraaa than most Gooners have !

Dude on a separate & serious note when I visited Singapore a while back....we went to one of the Islands on a Cruise ! I saw F-16s & some other twin engined jet (I dunno whether it was a Flanker or some F-15 type thing) multiple times cruising over head....I swear it was only a couple of hundred meters up because I could swear that I saw an IFR Probe on one of them !

Now I don't know whether they belong to the Singapore Air Force or whether they were Malaysian/Indonesians but it was a joy to see an Air Craft fly that close !
