Pakistan Air Force Transport

I still dont understand why cn235 taken out of service
The lightweight twin engine turboprop transport (cn-235/c27j) is a dead end. For the majority of tactical airlift missions, they can't do what a quad engine platform does. Any time you load them up with anything you sacrifice fuel/range. Better use rotorcraft and autonomous systems for light logistics.

Just take a look at what happened with the Russian Il-112V.

These 4 planes could be converted to gunship close air support
