YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe role of the C-130J Hercules will be taken over by the Atlas A400M aircraft by the end of next month, but leaked documents reveal two-thirds of the newer fleet were listed as unavailable for missions in early May.
An RAF source said ditching the "backbone" of the UK's transport fleet by selling the C-130s is "probably one of the worst decisions made in the post-World War 2 era".
