The Albanese Government will purchase 20 new C-130J Hercules aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force for $9.8 billion. This will provide the Air Force with state of the art C-130 Hercules to meet the air transport needs of the future.

The new acquisitions will replace and expand upon the 12 Hercules aircraft currently operated by Air Force with delivery of the first aircraft expected from late 2027. There will be significant benefits for Australian industry from the expanded fleet size, with opportunities to construct facilities and infrastructure and to sustain the aircraft.

Erre mondta nagyanyám annak idején, hogy "Nesze! Egyél, csak el ne csurgasd!"
Aztán csodálkoznak itt a @formosa1 félék, hogy jól megy a KC-390-es. Az ausztrál idiótizmusra meg nem nagyon vannak szavak...

WASHINGTON, November 2, 2022 -

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Australia of C-130J-30 aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of $6.35 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Australia has requested to buy twenty-four (24) C-130J-30 aircraft with four (4) each Rolls Royce AE-2100D turboprop engines installed; twenty-four (24) Rolls Royce AE-2100D turboprop engines with Quick Engine Change Assembly (QECA) and propellers installed (spares); sixty (60) Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) (EGI) security devices, airborne (48 installed, 12 spares); thirty-two (32) AN/ALQ-251 Radio Frequency Countermeasure (RFCM) systems; twenty-seven (27) Guardian Laser Transmitter Assemblies (GLTA) for Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) systems (24 installed, 3 spares); sixteen (16) AN/AAQ 24(V)N LAIRCM System Processor Replacements (LSPR) (12 installed, 4 spares); and twenty-four (24) Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) (installed). Also included are AN/AAQ 24(V)N LAIRCM Infrared Missile Warning Sensors (MWS), Control Interface Unit Replacements (CIRU), and classified memory card User Data Modules (UDM); KYV-5M communication security modules; AN/ARC-190 High Frequency (HF) radios; AN/ARC-210 radios; AN/ARN-153 tactical airborne navigation (TACAN) systems; AN/ARN-147 receivers; AN/ARN-149(V) automatic direction finders; AN/APX-119 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) transponders; AN/AAR 47 missile warning systems; AN/APN-241 Low-Power Color Radars (LPCR); AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispensing Systems (CMDS); AN/ALR-56 Radar Warning Receivers (RWR); AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loaders; MX-20HD electro optical/infrared targeting systems; AN/KIV-77 IFF cryptographic appliques; Advanced Digital Antenna Production (ADAP) system components; integration support and test equipment; aircraft and support equipment; secure communications equipment, precision navigation, and cryptographic devices; classified software delivery and support; spare and repair parts, consumables and accessories; maintenance and maintenance support; classified manuals, publications, and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment, and U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services, studies and surveys; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated total cost is $6.35 billion.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States. Australia is one of our most important allies in the Western Pacific. The strategic location of this political and economic power contributes significantly to ensuring peace and economic stability in the region. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist our ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability.

The proposed sale will improve Australia’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing the Royal

Australian Air Force (RAAF) with replacements for its aging cargo fleet, guaranteeing a reliable airlift capability, and allowing the RAAF to improve its overall operational capability. Australia will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation, Marietta, GA. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Australia.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value is for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

A 6.35 milliárd USD az most 9,42 milliárd ausztrál dollár (AUD), ezek szerint kb. ugyanabból a pénzből fél évvel később már csak kevesebb gép jött ki, így lett a 24-ből fél évvel később csak 20 gép.....

2 géppel kevesebb lett a szerződésben, meg egy gépnyivel többe kerül!
Az AUD/USD árfolyam meg jelenleg majdnem pont annyi, mint amennyi tavaly novemberben volt...
Meg szaros C-130-asokról beszélünk, és 330M USD darabárról. Ráadásul olyan típusról, amit aktívan üzemeltetnek az ausztrálok. Nem bevezetés alatt álló típusról.

Ide pedig a hír első fele:
The Fuerza Aerea Argentina C-130H (TC-64) suffered what seems to be a nose gear accident while at the Natal International Airport in Brazil.
 
Philippines to buy 3 C-130J-30 tranports...

The first C-130J is scheduled to be delivered in July 2026 and the second one in October of the same year. Meanwhile, the delivery of the third plane is in January 2027.
Defense observers said the contract for the three aircraft is worth PHP22.2 billion.

Ha jól számolta át a többi híroldal, akkor az $391 million.

Német-francia Hercules század : 4700 repüléssel 10 000 repült óra.

2020 januárjától 2023 októberéig csaknem 44 000 utast és több mint 23 000 tonna anyagot szállított immár hét C-130J szállító repülőgéppel.

Ma hét C-130J (köztük kettő a KC-130J tanker változatban) már szolgálatban van. Ezt követi még három, így 2024 március végére összesen tíz géppel lesz teljes a flotta és ekkor a századnál szolgálók száma 300 fő körül lesz.
