One of the most eagerly awaited delegations at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2025 has finally landed on British soil. The Pakistan Air Force arrived at RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom with an impressive array of military aircraft.
The Pakistani contingent includes two JF-17 Thunder Block III fighters — the most advanced variant of the jet developed in collaboration with China — as well as C-130H transport aircraft from the 6th Squadron and an Il-78MP aerial refuelling tanker from the 10th Squadron.
Catching the eye of aviation enthusiasts, one JF-17 and one C-130H arrived sporting special, vibrant liveries designed especially for the event. The aircraft were warmly received by the organisers and the attending public.
