Pakistan army purchased Bombardier Global 5000

[kursed]

They are useless awam whose only job is to make kids and complain about everything and blame everybody but themselves for their own faults.
Military being the most important branch of government in Pakistan, they deserve to treat themselves with higher standards.
And dont expect generals to sit on riksaws like rest of awam to go to work.

Useless awam that pay every dime that goes towards these buys? Or did Army find a way to grow money on trees, yet? Pathetic. Your point can be made without insulting people at large.

I hope we can afford the LUXURY of more VIP travels . Maybe a new plane was long due, other than that i am a bit concerned!

Have you travelled in a C-130 ?

A tactical transport plane like C-130 is suited for Ops in extreme conditions as well as has the ability to land on unprepared runways. Its best suited in Pakistan for lifting cargo to northern areas and transporting troops.

Why would C-130 be used for transporting official dignitaries when it has other purposes to fulfil. A smaller plane like Global 5000 is better suited. Each plane has a role that it fulfils . Its not about luxury but the role.

Could this aircraft have any relation to PNs LRMP tender other then the MTW all other specs seem appropriate and this platform is also used for Saab Globaleye (Erieye). from what i can find Loiter is 3.5hr on station with max 10hr total. Being a used aircraft, might have been bought with modifications in mind.

PAKISTAN NAVY SEEKS PLATFORM FOR LONG-RANGE ANTI-SUB AIRCRAFT
ShareTweet

On 10 January 2020, the Pakistan Navy (PN) released a tender for one twin-engine jet-powered aircraft it will use as a platform for its next-generation long-range maritime patrol aircraft (LRMPA).

In its documentation, the PN outlined that it requires the aircraft to fall within the following parameters:

• Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW): 120,000 lbs to 140,000 lbs
• Ferry Range: 4,000+ nautical miles
• Total Length: 120 ft or less
• Wingspan: 112 ft or less
• Maximum Take-Off/Landing Distance: 7,000 ft
• Service Ceiling: 40,000 ft to 50,000 ft

The PN wants bidders to offer aircraft in a clean configuration, i.e., ‘as-is’ if the aircraft is a passenger or a VIP/executive transport. Moreover, the aircraft “should have no design deviations from the OEM specified basic configuration and should conform to OEM’s original structural design.”

The aircraft “should be suitable for subsequent modification as LRMP” capable of the following missions:

• Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)
• Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW)
• Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)
• Airborne Early Warning (AEW)

The LRMPA configuration will also be able to support secondary roles, including asymmetrical threats or challenges, search-and-rescue, training, and transport.

Finally, the PN requires that the aircraft’s ‘major components’ – i.e., engines, flight control system, flight navigation and other instrumentation, landing gears and others – be completely free of ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) restrictions. In other words, 100% clear of restricted US-origin systems.

However, the aircraft must also benefit from worldwide adoption, specifically with a minimum 100 orders as well as “worldwide commercial MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) support” for its engines, flight instruments, air conditioning, auxiliary power units (APU), and other critical components.

The PN Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi, outlined the service arm’s requirement for a new LRMPA in 2018, namely as a successor to the venerable – but aging – P-3C Orion. The CNS had stated that the PN was open to acquiring a next-generation solution “from any source, including the US.”[1]

Based on the information in the tender, it appears that the PN is moving ahead with a custom solution…
