The Philippines will purchase three new C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft
The Philippines will buy three new C-130J-30 Super Hercules planes for its air force, the defense ministry said Tuesday, nearly doubling its fleet for large transport aircraft.
“The addition of the C-130J-30 to the inventory is a significant leap forward in terms of achieving a credible defence posture,” the defense ministry said in a statement that did not disclose the value of the deal.
US manufacturer Lockheed Martin has been contracted to deliver two of the aircraft in 2026 and the third in January 2027, the statement said.
The new planes can carry up to 128 combat troops or 92 paratroopers each.
Lockheed Martin’s website described the model as an “affordable” and “stretch version” of its C-130J, with a maximum payload of nearly 20 tonnes.
The Philippine Air Force currently operates four C-130 planes, an older version of the airlifter.
