[gangsta_rap]

wouldnt that be something to watch as the winters go

Escorted by the Block-72s? With the F-16D back-seated with a YouTube bhai explaining what just happened?

It will be Blk-70 not 72 This is confirmed.

Those TPS 77 MRR will be ferried in the same C-130 Js (j/k)

If I am not wrong differnt radar from different country is selected ....

It will be Blk-70 not 72 This is confirmed.

That'd be weird though, breaking from the existing engine commonality? Only rationale for that I can think of is that it'd set-up the logistics line for the PAF to acquire used F110 F-16s from AMARC?

Thanks to @Blacklight, I dug a little deeper and was able to find conclusive evidence that indeed, 5 C-130J's are being acquired. The source of the aircraft is unknown, but 6 squadron appears to be preparing for it.

Also, there have been a 'number' of US bound flights being operated by C-130's in the past 3 weeks. Scheduled all the way until June end, the news of AH-1Z Zulu's return does hold water as @Blacklight mentioned.

I would request the readers to not post this yet on facebook. As it gets muddy and alot of brainless people there start yapping.

I think it is safe to speculate the if's, when's and what's.

CSF for the Zulu? Great news for Pakistan!!

confused by the Block 70?

Does that mean Turkey and Pakistan will have engine clearance on TAI T129 helicopters and we will see those too In PAA soon

On the T129, the Turks were denied license to export to the Philippines as well. So best if we move on from the T129
