Is there any news on the 5 additional C-130s that were being discussed last year?
As far as I know, talks regarding the details of the intergovernmental agreement for the takeover by Poland of five used C-130H Hercules transport aircraft have not yet been completed. The Polish Armaments Inspectorate does not inform at what stage they are and what is the reason for their prolongation. It cannot be ruled out that a contentious issue may be the intention of the Polish side to minimize the participation of American companies in the renovation and modernization of aircraft.
Unofficially, it is said that the Ministry of National Defense would like to provide only a basic service in the USA that will allow a safe flight from Arizona to Bydgoszcz (Poland). The PDM inspection, combined with a possible modernization, will take place at the Polish Military Aviation Works No. 2.
