Its primary military roles include maritime patrol, surveillance, and air transport.

Probably reversed the decision? Or handed to another aviation branch? Retiring was claimed back in 2024 but that entire video has since been deleted

Sweden is also retiring its C-130Hs. I guess we could see the PAF do a Mirage 3/5 on these.

PAF has built eztensive MRO capabilities around pre J models. They can keep absorbing these airframes to retire '57 era B models.

They can fully rebuild C-130s at Chaklala but lack Lockheed certification. As you say, it is a very extensive MRO set up, very extensive. almost 70 years with this plane, longer then Mirages

Both the Brits and Canadians have retired several C130 airframes. Time to go shopping.
