Should Pakistan Buy Y-9 to Serve as a Tanker?

[Philip the Arab]

If Saudi Arabia makes a aerial refueling version of the AN-132 I'm sure Pakistan could get a good deal for 40-50 of them.

You paying for them or the Saudis?

Too many dreamers with empty pockets.

I second that thought.


It'll be a tanker meaning it won't be flying at the border and it would be suicide for the enemy to go that deep behind enemy lines.

And...is there a Y-20 Refueling variant (so far)?!!

Y-20 is the best non western option.

Bad response, I am simply stating the price would be cheaper than the Y-9.

You stated we could buy 40-50 of them ... do you buy 40-50 bicycles just because you can? Does Pakistan has a need for the amount of aircraft you proposed even if setting aside the funding for such an acquisition?
