PAF C-130 Database

 

[Qureshi]

Correct me if I'm wrong, the current fleet C130 fleet is 16 + 7 = 23 Aircrafts (07 ex-Belgium)?

@Fatman17, as per your above shared data we should have 19 C130s in fleet other than ex-Belgium 07 aircrafts.

why is PAF decommissioning these planes

 

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

As per official PR, CASA CN-235 is also among the platforms that will be retired from PAF service. Their limitations in range & altitude resulted in very little operational value to modern PAF operational construct.

These platforms may be transfered to other Govt Organizations.

What justifies India's acquisition of 60 aircraft (C295) if the claimed rationale is that they were phased out of active duty? Don't we know how huge India is?

We only had 4, they performed their roles really well, we raised a CN235 specific sqn too, I guess the small fleet was deemed too expensive in terms of overhaul and maintenance.
