International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS)

Interesting, Indians will be fuming after paying millions to MBDA for Meteor....
Could be a few motivating factors:
  • Marketing CAMM-MR to PN
  • Marketing A330 MRTT to PAF
  • Marketing satellites to the PAF/PN
  • Marketing Typhoon to PAF (a hope that the J-35 money can be pivoted their way).

Would love to see A330 in PAF colours but unsure for a few reasons

1) With JF-17, J-10C and soon J-35 would not Chinese solution work better?
2) No domestic A330 Ecosystem in Pak civil aviation

Typhoon will never see PAF colours due to US related systems on it

A330 has been flying with Air Blue and also PAF’s civilian cargo operation Air Eagle.

However, this is likely not something on the agenda and more so with weapons fits.

I do need to confirm the Air Eagle bit as it is possible they may have 767s instead.

There are enough MROs around for 330s in the region - Dubai - Qatar and then further east.

So not a procurement that would have an issue except it doesn’t look like that’s on the cards.
