pr00ne,
Hardly...... The spams must have untold numbers of surplus C130 and Chinooks in their 'grave yards'.
£112m cash is nothing and most likely already wasted in their magic black hole. A swap deal for aircraft they don't want for aircraft they do seems a logical answer to me, but I realise that logic is in short supply where the MoD and government are concerned. I'm sure US spec equipment makes no difference in the real world, especially whilst there's a shooting war going on against stone age flip flop wearing peasant farmers.
Apologies for any typing errors, using a phone ;-)
