Two more Super Hercules planes on way to India

[JAAT]

good job we definately need these kind of aircraft...........................

The US government had offered a unique C-130J configuration for special mission roles and these will be the first uniquely configured aircraft in the IAF fleet for its special operations.

The aircraft will be able to perform precision low- level flying and landing in blackout conditions.

Special features are included to ensure aircraft survivability in hostile air defence environment.

In addition, these aircraft will have refuelling probes, advance radar warning receivers and counter measure dispensing system for extended range and additional safety.

Seems to be a very good buy. Wished we had made the decision on MRCA this faster.

IAF ordered 6 C130's , May Order 6 more soon

IAF ordered 6 C130's , May Order 6 more soon

These follow on orders will continue .. I think ~25 C-130J will be procured as MRTA is way behind its schedule and C-27 is not moving..

It is a wonderful plane and certain helps India as a force multiplier.

Hey dont blame russia, even we are responsible for some lateness, we ask for tot to build every thing here and it takes time for delays.
