Well, Goldiefish seems to have justifiably split the post so lets state the question for our posters just so we are clear
"Does the IAC require it own tactical transport ability in support of military operations?"
Well thats the basic question.Points to consider
-are the number of missions that a transport would perform suuficient to justify outright purchase of a transport
-would the transport aircraft have to be multi-role ie MP etc, to be cost effective
-what size of aircraft would be justifiable? CASA 235 or Hercules or something inbetween
-secondhand or new?
-could the IAC use the transport for commercial purposes to "pay its way" or would this infringe on certain laws?
-should we continue to rely on friendly nations for troop transport as oppsed to having our own ability
Lets just assume for the purpose of the exercise that money was available for the purchase of an aircraft up to the size of a Hercules and for no other purpose, so should it be used or not?
