Slartibartfast 153 Posted January 17, 2010 Well they do build em big in Tashkent... I think that these are re-builds. First one was delivered 20th December after training in the Ukraine where these birds are being modified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted January 18, 2010 Are they still building them?? I heard (From AFM) Russia was in the sh*t because their Il-76s are reaching the end of their useful lives, very quickly, with no replacement on the horizon. I thought most of these "new" aircraft were rebuilds and refurbs of existing Il-76s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted January 18, 2010 Will they fit all the aircraft in PakAir? Even the F-16s and C-130s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah I think the only bird they can't refuel in the Pak Air Force is the F-16's as all the other jets have Probesor can be fitted with probes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
