The Hercules will be delivered this year and next, according to El Mercurio. The newspaper reported the C-130s are part of the H series, the same as two others already in FACh's fleet. The purchase is <a href="http://www.dsca.mil/programs/excess-defense-articles-eda">confirmed in the database of Excess Defense Articles</a> of the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which shows Chile paid $7 million for each plane. The agency's database also shows the transfers were authorized in 2012 and 2013, indicating that Chile didn't accept them until recently. The planes are listed as C-130R, a Marine Corps air-refueling version with hose and drogue refueling pods. It's possible that the refueling capabilities have been removed, which is why the newspaper says the Hercules are H-series rather than the R version. On a related note, the DSCA database also lists a transfer last year of two F110-129 jet engines — which are used for the F-16 fighter — at a cost of $3.89 million.<a href="http://chiledefense.blogspot.com/">http://chiledefense.blogspot.com/</a>Algunas puntualisaciones del articulo:- Hay incoherencia sobre los C-130...parte hablando que son  de la Armada (US Navy, C-130T)...y luego se enreda hablando que son un modelo usado por los Marines (reabastecimiento, los KC-130T). La informacion publicada en prensa, El Mercurio, habla de C-130T ex US Navy (al igual que los que se venden a Filipinas, y aqui la fuente viene de USA).Por otros posteos del autor de la nota, creo que tiene errores sobre procedencia de los C-130.En todo caso lo interesante...si es cierto...es el PRECIO...si son los C-130T US Navy es un torpedo directo a la linea de flotacion del KC-390...si ofrecen los restantes (14-16 de un total de 20) a paises como Chile, Colombia y Portugal y a USD 7 millones la unidad.</blockquote>
