C-130J's for Egypt

Recommended Posts

Over the decades it has survived attempts to replace it (the YC-14/YC-15 AMST program). More recently, Embraer's KC-390 was supposed to be the "C-130 killer", but that program doesn't seem to be setting any sales records.

that plane is still young....

I got orders from Portugal and Czech Repulic as far as I know.

 

Covid surely did not speed up its development, neither did the issues with Boeing and Embraer....

 

I guess it might be a solid and successful design in the longer run!

 

bur Egypt needs to make sure it still buys US hardware.... politically this is rather important for them!

And there seems to be an issue with the Su-35 deliveries from Russia... some claim that CAATSA (Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanction Act) is the real reason...
