Great video. But we should remember that as of June 2026, we only have 10 active large tactical airlifters in service and C-130s are still out.

No news from Embraer regarding the C390?

Apart from air force chief's visit to Portugal last month, nothing.

Çiğli AFB, 2.th AJÜ along with Air Training Command and Air Technical Schools Command to be moved to Manisa Akhisar. Weird thing is the news being broken by the AKP's district mayor. Strategy wise, probably a safer location.

I wouldn't expect any news on any possible procurement until NATO Summit has concluded. Either we will hear and read about a massive purchase from the Americans (KC-46A, C-130J, F-16, F110 and so on) or we will hear the same phrases we have heard for the last 3-4 years now regarding all this.
If the latter happens I would expect headway to be made on things like C-390, possibly more A400M and A330 MRTT+ in the near future.

new c130j are not happening as c390 are better and almost cost the same. More A400m are also unlikely simply because they are to expensive to buy and maintain its really about C390 and which tanker the airforce chooses (KC46 or A330). F16 purchase is currently on hold because LM prices are off the charts and not to mention all new purchases have to through congress.

A 20+bn F-16 sale already cleared the congress years ago.
