the IL78 is being used more as a transport than a air refueller at this point.

It was expected. We don't really need to do refueling much right now.

Looks like only an engine.

Fuselage.. you can see the blended shape of the body.. also.. just an engine would no occupy that much space.

Yeah, the sheet obscured it a bit.

But, a few years back, some parts and other surfaces for the Cobras came in Multan , they were in crates, but this is in just plain sheet. No danger of damage?

Could be two things..

First.. if the Cobra's arrived via land.. so the crates are a necessity to protect them..and the Cobra has a very slender body..
the Jf is a much larger cargo.. the Il-78 may not be able to hold a Jf packed in a crate.. also.. the trip in a Il-78 is fairly safe.. a few hours from chengdu to Kamra..

two... JF-17.. Chinese Pakistani idea.. who cares about packaging and safety.
Cobra.. American idea.. they double wrap the toilet paper that is supplied to US troops in Afghanistan.. and this was a cobra.

The cobra came in a C-130.

The cobra came in a C-130.

Even then.. it did not come all the way from the US in a C-130.
Would a JF fit in a C-130?

Maybe it did not come in a C-130 from US.

And no, I don't think a JF would fit in there.
