Türkiye will buy twelve ex-RAF Super Hercules(30 de Novembro de 2024)
Already rumoured back in July, Türkiye will buy twelve of the fifteen Royal Air Force Super Hercules transport aircraft that have been stored at Cambridge since their withdrawal from use, starting in June 2022.
The aircraft stored consist of two types: the Hercules C4 and Hercules C5. Scramble assesses that the Türk Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı (Turkish Air Force Command) will acquire twelve "stretched fuselage" C-130J-30s, designated by the RAF as Hercules C4. The acquisition of the C-130J-30 makes sense, since the Turkish Air Force already operates the C-130B and C-130E models it is familiar with the aircraft and its logistics. These stretched versions will provide additional tactical transport capacity, their maintenance and logistics costs are relatively low and the total time of flight hours on the airframes is low. Some sources state that one Hercules C5 (C-130J) is part of the deal.
