Interview: India likely to buy six additional C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft

21 Feb 2010 8ak: Calling it a historic moment, Orville Prins, Vice President, Business Development, Lockheed Martin, India told Manu Sood, Editor, 8ak.in (watch video) that when India gets delivery of its first C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft, it will be the first military plane sold to India by the U.S. The Indian government, he revealed, is considering a follow on order of another six of these aircraft. While no definite time frame can be given as to when will the new contract will be signed, Mr Prins hinted that this could be after the IAF gets delivery and is satisfied with the first plane. He said that the IAF can expect to get an early delivery of the first plane in Dec 2010 or Jan 2011 as against the contracted date of Feb 2011. Adding further he said that delivery coinciding with Aero India 2011 would be highly desirable.

The additional order for six aircrafts will be part of the US$1.05 billion contract for six C-130J transport aircraft signed between India and the U.S. using the FMS route in 2008, which gave India an option to increase the aircraft order to 12.

The IAF is keen to buy the aircraft because of its ability to land and take off even in improvised or short airfields, and without lights. What has also impressed the IAF top brass is the performance of the J model in Hot and Humid conditions, which can reduce the useful load of older Hercules or similar transport aircraft by 50-60%.

The C-130J Super Hercules is the newest version of the U.S. Air Force's primary cargo- and personnel-transport aircraft, the C-130 Hercules. The plane is externally similar in appearance to the older C-130E Hercules. But the J version features new Rolls-Royce turboprop engines with composite propeller blades that generate 29 percent more thrust while increasing fuel efficiency by 15 percent. It has digital avionics, including head-up displays for each pilot, is far more reliable and requires only three crewmembers.

Venkarl · Post by **Venkarl** » 12 Mar 2010 05:27

Brothers...just wanted to share my happiness...recently when I was watching some defense program on some news channel..they beamed an IAF video in the beginning of the program which I made way back in 2006..and 3 months ago a telugu news channel too beamed my video...my Father instantly recognized it and called me...so logged into my youtube account to see the ratings and video responses....and my video is all over internet and doing rounds in news channels haha...I should give all the credits to BR...it was this thread of BR which inspired this lurker way back in 2006 to make a nice IAF video..thank you folks....Sunny saab you are doing a great job..keep it up mate..I miss those days working on flash, windows movie maker etc...

venkarl, really nice vid but it was the IAF one. you have one on IN as well ?

Samay · Post by **Samay** » 12 Mar 2010 23:09

venkarl ji , its a request,that you should make some more videos on Indian defence...
though it is obvious that your previous video was excellent,but I dont think it really represent the extreme of creativity you can infuse into this art,
hence by making more seed videos(as above ) on Indian defence,you will help others to explore some new thinking in this perception....
one such possibility is the use of creative animation,..
regards...

if that be true, there are people with the same features in the Gharwal range in UP and Uttharakhand... Does that mean that they can claim that s theirs too... Its all just about politics and resources, those hills have natural and man made resources which china wants and its claiming that its their land...

I said they looked Chinese, i.e Mongoloid features, which I expect is the basis for Chinese claims on Indian territory?

Don't all of you jump on me. Don't take my words out of context.

Bala Vignesh · Post by **Bala Vignesh** » 18 Mar 2010 23:23

Sir, their claim is that Tawang was in early to late 1600's was part of the Chinese kingdom and hence it belongs to them even now... Much the same way they claim about Taiwan..

Slight correction, the uh...the Mexicans look "mongoloid". I agree with the point though.
