True, but there will always be a need for spare parts no matter what. But we don't have many choices, C-130 is pretty much the best transport aircraft. We probably should get a mix of Chinese, Russian and American transport aircraft. Should not put all our eggs in one basket.
Saab Erieye is good. I wish we bought the full package of Gripen E and Erieye with meteor. Or if not European then heck go for the J-10C and Chinese AEW&C combo.
