Twenty-thousand troops? We only have 25 main battle tanks working at best

Left to rot in sheds, our equipment is either ancient, non-existent or yet to arrive, while ammunition stocks would not last a week if push came to shove, says defence expert Francis Tusa

It looks like the C-130 will quickly be going the way of the dodo in the European side of NATO in favor of the C-390M and A-400M.

I would say it looks like the C-390 is gaining ground at the expense of both the C-130 AND the A-400M. To be fair, most of the C-390 customers so far either never operated the C-130 before or only had second-hand examples. But I can see that possibly changing as the years go by. The real loser is the A-400M. I think it ended up being too large for its own good.
