RAF Fairford is buzzing with excitement as the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2025 officially commences on July 17th. Among the highly anticipated arrivals, a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) C-130H Hercules has made a striking entrance, immediately drawing attention not just for its presence but for its remarkable tail art.
The PAF C-130H, a workhorse of air forces worldwide, arrived at RAF Fairford showcasing a distinctive paint scheme on its tail. This unique livery depicts the PAF’s “Multi-Domain Operations” mechanism, a concept that was critically deployed during the recent Pakistan-India 2025 skirmish, specifically during “Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.”
Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, which saw intense military hostilities between Pakistan and India culminating in a ceasefire on May 10, 2025, highlighted the PAF’s capability to integrate and synchronize operations across air, land, sea, cyber, and space domains.
