Great news! Thank you brothers.

Just how old are these donated aircraft and how much useful life do they have left?

I'd expect them to be old and have a few years left in them now.

The fact that they were free should lead to muted expectations, perhaps?

Yes. There are strong indications Pakistan is going for the T-50.

That would a better choice, but I am sure budgetary constraints have a role to play here, sadly.

I do not think that the Pakistani military leadership would deliberately import scrap from Turkey. Anyway, everything that ist good for Pakistan is good for us and should be unconditionally supported by Turkey.

Turkey is still hopeful that Pakistan will purchase Altay Tank, T129 ATAK Gunship, and invest in 5th gen fighter program.

Not necessarily in Nukes.
Pakistan has a very unique soft power in Islamist Circles. With connections in Afg-Taliban, LeT and various terror factions it can be a very useful ally. Again I am shooting in the dark here , but I concur : Turkey will demand something sometime.

When it comes to the crunch, we have no one except Pakistan on our side. Our only real, honorable, unquestionable, trustworthy friend. No one can divide us. I know that International Relation is always interest based. But the relationship between the Pakistani and Turkish people is very special. Outsiders like Indians cannot appreciate this affinity. Maybe that's because they have no one to whom they can rely unconditionally. Pakistan will always have a greate place in the heart of the Turkish nation. India must understand this. This relationship goes far beyond a friendship. It is priceless.

Where did I use the word "scrap", or even imply it? The T-37 has been a workhorse for many decades all over the world, and has its place even today.

I'm sure Pakistan will go for the Altay. As for the helicopter, less likely with the Zulu order, which will probably expand to 30-40. The Z-10 will cover the rest. Pakistan will hopefully go for Turkey's fighter program.

All hail Ummah...... Good luck
