French mulls contingency plans for airlift gap
French Defense Minister Herve Morin said Paris might refurbished its C160 Transalls or buy/lease new C-130Js to plug an airlift gap caused by delays in the A400M program.
Other options include bring forward the purchase of aerial refuelling tanker planes that can double as troop carriers or chartering more time on Russian Antonov planes under a NATO strategic airlift program called SALIS.
