130J-30 will also provide a logistic advantage that will put C27J ahead of C295

Certainly possible. To give context, C27J and C-130J have slightly different versions of the same Alison engine. But, C295 also shares its PW100 with ATRs the navy use and it is a much more readily available commercial engine, although not very known in Turkey.
