Lockheed Martin Receives Order for Two C-130J Super Hercules for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Lockheed Martin has entered into an agreement — known as an Undefinitized Contract Action — with the U.S. Government for the Foreign Military Sale of the first two of 25 potential C-130J Super Hercules airlifters for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Specifically, this contract action is for the purchase of two KC-130J refueling tankers.

“Here we see another nation recapitalizing with the proven C-130J,” said Chris Antone, vice president of business development for Saudi Arabia at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co. “As a legacy C-130 operator, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is familiar with the workhorse capabilities of the Hercules. With the addition of C-130Js, Saudi Arabia will have a proven asset that provides unequaled results — both regionally and around the world.”
