• Primary trainer: Hurkus-B - BAF officials have not visited any other countries for primary trainers from what I know.
• Light transport aircraft: Let L410NG - Follow on order for more advanced version reportedly outfitted in VVIP profile.
• MRAP with jammers: Cobra II - Its a follow on order with eventual requirement for 800+ units of Cobra LAV.

Wasnt it then reported baf looked for 'C' version of hurkus?

Does anyone know which branch/unit will be equipped with this drone?

[sibghat_99]

Do we have a timeframe for the deliveries of Vt-5 and Type-B GMLRS?

Deliveries of these hardware will be spreaded out. 

Probably 2021.

[Syed Amar Khan]

Procurement is done on fiscal year basis and so are the deliveries. Lots of things to come.

[Nihonjin Karatumo]

Heard Type-054's early iteration is up to be refitted for Export.

All I know BN ordered 2nd batch of Type 053H3 frigates last year.

It needs to be noted that these 2 Type 054s carries FM-90 and lacks VLS as far I can surmise. 

Pakistan can be the possible client of these frigates no?

BAF received several trainers from China few days back. Hopefully we are getting back to business within this pandemic situation. Good sign for the nation.
