C-130 is more like a utility aircraft , and since the Corona virus we could have used this for more transport stuff from other countries , Pakistan was/is in dire need of more C-130's for various services , so I am not surprised that this news comes in the times of this pandemic .

PAF needs to invest in transport fleet including some strategic aircraft like Y20 or C-17 Globe master

The tanker model is a swing role aircraft. You can use it like a regular transporter as well.

C17 is out of production, Y20 sounds good.

Although once the C130 replacements AND augmentation is done, we can then re-evaluate PAF's transport fleet §§•
