I still think SS is correct - lets bin the C130K now along with the reduced A400M order.
Use common sense and buy more C130J/C17 now!
The last costing to take the C130K onto 2017 was £325M for 9 platforms
How many C130Js for that??
Defence are so desperate that they even considered buying 5 ex RSAF C130E models
And before anyone bites - I am a C130K operator
