The C-27s are due to start a AUD70 million secure radio upgrade programme starting in September and finishing in 2026. 35 Sqn have also been conducting resupply exercises with the army to test 'the squadron’s tactical readiness to plan, deploy and fly missions at short notice'.
The FMS declaration last September was for 24 not 20 C-130s at USD 6.35 Billion.
