Pakistan Air Force Transport

@Bilal Khan (Quwa)

I would request a small explanation for our PDFs friends how much important is every single C-130 in PAF is.

what important role they play in deployment and in PAF operations (Wartime)

how dwindling numbers are effecting PAF wartime war readiness.

please!
Here is one of @PanzerKiel 's post. Our C130s flew 300 sorties within 3 days to airlift 2 inf bdes. Remarkable, isn't it? Two bdes were first mobilised and then airlifted, also speaks volumes about the intel network
Perhaps Asif Ghafoor rightly said that " you won't be able to surprise us".

There are different levels of alert. Int agencies work tirelessly to keep our soldiers informed of enemy movements. Let me quote you an example.

Last time Indian army planned, and were about to conduct, a conventional attack in this area

..... They inducted 6 Mountain Division by air within about a week. Of course they faced a shortage of accommodation for the almost 10, 000 troops that arrived from nowhere. This airlift was remarkable enough.

As per Indian accounts, Pakistan staged a more remarkable airlift. 300 C130 sorties were flown within 3 days to bring in two extra brigades into FCNA which altered the attack ratio enough to force Indians to postpone and then cancel their attack a few hours before it was about to be launched.

Such was... Once upon a time in the month of February...



You may like to appreciate our intelligence work... I mean, 6 Mountain Division must have been picked up once troops were being recalled, being equipped, driven to the airbase for airlift, then it took six more days for it to be fully concentrated in 15 Corps area.

As it happens, normally one day of superb output may have years of intelligence and planning behind it..

Israeli devastating air attack in the opening of 67 war had 13 years of planning and int gathering behind it....

CH-09 also appears to have been repainted according to the source who pointed out the first CH-12 aircraft. So this is 2nd aircraft ready for delivery.

any idea how many more C-130 are we getting ???
Requirment is for 8 new C130s with PAF so we should be getting 8 C130s in working condition from Belgium (& from other nations if they sell us ) , rest C130s if purchased would be for spares.

Belgium only has a possible 7 in working condition. 3 out of the original 12 we’re lost and 2 were retired quite a while back.

Recently upgraded and refurbished Pakistan Air Force Il-78MP aerial refueller and strategic airlifter, by Ukraine. It was able to fly back to Pakistan from Ukraine just weeks before the war broke out.

PAF ACQUIRES AIRBUS A319

The Pakistan Air Force has acquired a single Airbus A319-112 medium-range narrow body airliner (current registration: LY-TKT, built in 1999) from Avion Express of Lithuania.

The aircraft arrived in Pakistan three days ago.
The Air Force’s final plans for the plane are currently unknown, but the aircraft will be used for multirole limited Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), utility, transport and medevac roles as well as Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and Signals & Electronic Intelligence (SIGINT & ELINT) missions.

There were earlier rumours that the PAF intends to convert the aircraft into an aerial tanker for mid-air refuelling as well.
