Chalie akan kene phase out, better tambah atlas ni lagi
loading power dia lagi tinggi selain operational range dia

even with charlie pun A400 kene lenjan der apatah lagi kekuatan logistic navy kurang 1/3 dengan kes indera pura

Didn't Airod have extra C-130s lying around. Better absorb these C-130s before buying anything else

Also i think we should look for the likes of Il-76 or Globemaster III or C-2 Baby Globemaster III

problem with absorbing these white tailed C-130 is that it still require us congress approval. afaik one of them is practically a wreck before airod did their magic. pretty impressive to be able to turn a written off plane to a flyable one but I doubt the AF wanted it. Fucking flip didn't want them and these people would take anything, like third hand ANG C-130 or luftwaffe UH-1B

Also

>C-17
Prolly too big for our need

>C-2
Literally A400M with turbofan engines. And I'd rather have more A400M

>Il-76
CAATSA. besides Pakistan bought them and are less than pleased with the performance. The only reason why they bought them is because they're being blocked from getting KC-135 or Airbus MRTT and Y-20 wasn't a thing yet back then.
Also prolly too big for our need
got. airod have couple white-tailed C-130 for sale

You must be kidding

Not only are we cash strapped, Soviet hardware is going for a premium these days
Link?

2 already crashed

That said america has dozens of mig-29 in storage, bought from countries like Moldova and east germany stocks.

yeah i dun think i'd want clapped out usn/usmc f-18

at least with Kuwaiti f-18 those thing werent stressed out (lower milage, flying in dry area, etc). the same cannot be said to usn/usmc hornet

I'd rather if they trade with couple more TPS-77 radar. Or Seahawks for ASW role

Don't see why not

unless you subscribe to the following conspiracy theory:

step 1 - veto TUDM Hornet buy

step 2 - TUDM buys Checkmate

step 3 - train with TUDM to figure out Checkmate handling

step 4 - ???

step 5 - *angry Russian noises*

Yes, of course

Doesn't mean we're getting the "good stuff"
