Two C-130J-30 stretched airlifters and two KC-130J tankers were purchased through a US Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract of 29 January 2016, that also included training, spares, support systems, and two-years initial maintenance.
The first C-130J-30 will be joined by an identical aircraft in 2018, with the two KC-130Js arriving in 2019.
