There will be a decision in 2024, it's between LM and Embraer. Some favor the jet and some the props. In general, it is very hard to find any info on this matter, but you read a lot more of the C-390 in this regard than the C130j....." only 4" seems a bit low, but compared to the old C130H...
Jump to postI acctualy haven't heard anything of a Philippine order, but if true, i guess there will be no more C after that. Just my guess.

Putin will not just take on Ukraine, when he is done, he will turn his Army against Belarus with he already has over 30 000 soldiers within. Lukashenko is too stupid to see this. That's my opinion.

Jump to post"They don't seem happy with Gripen so I can't see them ordering anymore. Logical to get more but logic isn't an RTAF strong point." From what I understand Gripen is the best they have and recently funded it for the latest MS20 which will add more capability like the meteor for instance. Wh...
Jump to postGripen C or even E should be the most logical choice here. You don't order 4! of a new type!, especially the F-35. Different if they ordered 20-30 to replace the F-16.
Jump to postThe finns budget the F-35 to $4.4 Million for 140 flight hours for each fighter and year... approx $30K/ hour.

You would think that they have approx 20 years of service left within them and probably attractive to some airforces, perhaps including my own (Sweden) but as said earlier, we don´t know the actual status of them for now.

Jump to postVery good choice and it looks like they will be well equipped with torpedos and missiles too.
Jump to postI would say that Sweden could be a very possible customer for the KC-390, I say it´s 50/50 between the C-130j and KC-390 and the A400 as a long shot. All of them being very nice aircraft.
Jump to postTrump should prepare himself as single and behind bars. Flee to Russia could also work.
Jump to postInteresting to follow this since Sweden has almost the same issue. ( 6 C-130H in service of origin 8 were two used for spare parts) If you want to compensate for the insufficient number of flight hours from SAC, the A400 could be attractive. SAC started in 2006 with the first C-17 to arrive in early...
