In July 2008, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced Israel's request to buy up to 9 stretched C-130J-30 aircraft, which will replace some of the aging C-130 aircraft that Israel made famous in its 1976 commando raid at Entebbe, Uganda. Appropriately, the new aircraft will also contain a number of features associated with the new HC/MC-130J Special Forces aircraft bought by India and the USA.

It has taken some time, but Israel has finally become a C-130J customer. The order is a bit smaller than expected, however.


April 30/10: Lockheed Martin Corp. in Marietta, GA receives a $98.6 million contract, to provide one C-130J aircraft for the government of Israel.
