Big boys?

Neat looking bit of kit for smaller Air Forces ... but not completely convinced that it would have the reach for the Big boys.
Which "Big boys"? Lots of Big Air Forces use the C-130 (including USAF and RAF) and the KC-390 has essentially the same payload and slightly greater range than a C-130. For those countries looking for a C-130 replacement or alternative, this could be just the ticket.
