They need to be replace as soon as possible. Chine or Turkish option ?

Why? These are just trainer aircraft.

Why import when you can build them yourselves?

A K-8 Crashed in Mardan today. Both Pilots embraced Shahadat.

Any photos or the serial number?

It is not K-8 but most likely Super Mushshaq

We no longer build K-8s. And even when we did, it was just 25% of the sub-assemblies, the final assembly was done in China.

Oh yes, thanks for correcting me brother. I got mixed up with the Mushshaqs.

I'm not kidding, but I'd legit keep an eye on Leonardo in re: the PAF's trainer space right now, both for LIFT and FCU/AJT via M346 and M345, respectively.

Why is PAF not considering L39NG as k8 replacement or upgrade k8 to k8NG with some airframe redesign and avionics upgrade.
