Re: Pakistan Armed Forces: News & Discussion

Re: Transport Aircraft for IAF
The best solution would be to get 24-36 C-130J pure cargo format planes and replace the balance AN-32s with C-295s. The C-130Js would fulfill the requirement of higher cargo carrying capacity, whenever required, as well for high altitude operations. Remember the C-130s can take off and land at DBO,...
