Yes we do not have it now but that doesn't mean we can't get it upgraded by an aerospace firm other than american. But here comes catch, will US allow us to allow one who is not american to touch C-130Js? Correct me if i'm wrong, but EUMA doesn't allow that. So where is the so called full autonomy on this aircrafts? Sorry to say, we are buying nothing but a bone in spite of knowing that it will rest in our neck.
Wo Wo Wo. They are asking us to sign CISMOA now in order to get those equipments, why you think they will not ask then when we will ask them to upgrade it?
