- Embraer’s new C390 Millennium aircraft promises to revolutionize the industry, and with global tensions continuing to rise, it seems like every nation will beg for this aircraft.
For many decades now, the medium-sized military cargo transport market has been dominated by Lockheed Martin's C130 Super Hercules.
So, what happened?

South Korea has also just announced it will buy some C 390 Millennium.
3 for testing til 2026, more if pleases their needs - which all indicating it will according to preliminary reviews by SK. Malasya will buy the 390 to its air force also.
Sounds like a good plane designed for the purpose and Embraer has a good record of excellent aircraft
Sim, ele foi projetado para suprir a demanda dos Hércules que estão em fim de carreira, mas após a apresentação do projeto, a Força Aérea Brasileira, solicitou várias alterações no projeto para atender gaps dos Hércules que estariam sendo aposentados, é devido a isso, uma parceria Embrear e FAB, que o projeto é perfeito para as nações que hoje voam Hércules. Entrega mais, mais rápido e mais barato, vai ser difícil vence-lo de forma normal, apenas pressões geopolíticas podem impedir suas vendas.

My uncle work in Embraer and a marcable aspect of this company is a true commitment with quality. Each employ there think every one of airplanes like theirss life, they breath better airplanes
i know a company that seems to have the opposite goal starting from the top.
Nederland ministry of defense said: C390. IS THE BEST OF WORLD.
KC390 is also a major contender in Indian Airforce MTA tender , if won the number of KC390 will be close to 60 units.
I hear Russia wants them but can only pay in rupees or yuan.
@@coujo65 if Embraer decides to make in India then they can get the plane but Doubt they would do that.
@@coujo65Embraer is Brazilian. Payment can be made in real also. Don't forget brics.
C390 is far better than C130 , South Korea has just confirmed it.
UK, The Netherlands, Austria... not only South Korea, but real tests for SK air force will only commence when they receive the (likely first) 3 units in 2026 to be tested by their pilots. But all preliminary tests in SK indicates the 390 as cargo plane of choice in its role if tests go accordingly, which I believe they will.
Sputh Korea at this point should buy the Kawasaki C3 from it's neighbors but oh i forgot they all hate each other in those countries🤌🏼🤌🏼🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇵🇰🇷🇹🇼🇻🇳🇱🇦🇰🇭🇹🇭🇲🇾🇸🇬 . I wonder if SK has thier own indigenous aircraft manufacturer company ? Perhaps Hyundai Corp has an Air division 🤷🏼
@@Drskopf no company but after, you mention kawasaki, had serial produced or even short batch of units of cargo/refuel planes. Like it or not, Embraer was the first going forward with the idea, their great, they already have a lot of experience in middle range civilian aviation jet powered for decades now, and surely at least for now they're leading the "tech" of middle size military transport planes. Don't ever poorly judge your competition because of arrogance. Cheers.
@@Maddog-xc2zv da fuq u mean? I'm 100% pro Brazil and im Latino. Maybe i didn't explain myself better
@@Drskopf maybe. your discourse was really not too favorable to Brazil, by the means on Embraer on this case. Cheers bro. I'm PT and we also participated in some plane features, as you know for sure. Love the KC. best middle transport plane for the military with those twin jets. Abraço.
Great aircraft indeed. One thing not mentioned was its capability for short landings and short take off, as many landing strips that would be used are not of a large size.
it was mentioned. if the values were not for comparison here you have it a a level of Tactical Mission: C 130: 1090m; C 390 Millennium: 1100m. Basically the same with the Embraer being a lot faster to reach its destination.
My friend, I've seen this plane taking off from an improvised dirt runway in the middle of the Amazon, a very small and uneven runway. In Brazil, planes are almost always designed to take off from any possible place, because due to the size of the country there are many places that there is practically no infrastructure.
@@LukeHatake1999 I not saying you didn't. I just replicated the data both companies make available for the public in their aircraft specs. And we all know companies are not really straight forward with information they consider sensitive, I'm just saying verbatim what each one of them want us to know on the particular matter. Cheers from Portugal.
@@Maddog-xc2zv With a 20 ton load, in the same conditions, on an unimproved airstrip the Hercules can take off in 1000m, the 390 in 1500m (the same as a C-17). Landing distances are very similar, the the C-130 needs a slightly smaller length to land, but the difference is negligable
@@LukeHatake1999,na verdade o Brasil é o terceiro ou segundo país com mais aeroportos,mas é uma vantagem tática poder operar em quase qualquer área com algum infraestrutura.
South Korea also chose the C-390.
it's not entirely true. they bought 3 for testings, which should arrive in 2026. But SK air force preliminary tests are very optimistic and chances for Embraer to sell a lot more units is real.
@@Maddog-xc2zvThank you for clearing that up, I really didn't know it was a test buy, still, 3 aircraft for testing is a bit too much, ain't it?
I guess they are keen to test it's availability, stress testing 3 units will give tons of data in this regard.
Quantidade de 3 aviões ainda é especulativa, mas lembre-se que um KC390 devido a capacidade de carga e velocidade, pode sim, substituir dois Hércules, então não acredito que as vendas sejam 1 para 1 entre o KC 390 vs Hércules.
@@EDurval Sim, claro. Mas há que ter noção de realidades distintas: o poder económico e militar da Coreia do Sul jamais poderá ser comparado ao da realidade portuguesa. O que para nós é muito para outros é um mero acto de experiencia para uma escolha ponderada. Aliás, inclusive os EUA adquiriram se não estou em erro também 3 kc 390 Millennium nem que seja para os testar e perceber se há ganhos para aplicar aos seus aparelhos, já que duvido que o venha a adoptar. Enfim, era só isto que gostaria de acrescentar. Haveria ainda que mencionar os airbus A400 que é com absoluta estranheza que encontro ausentes neste video.. cumprimentos.
@@Maddog-xc2zv Para de escrever merda tuga invejoso, ninguém compra 3 aviões para testar, Tá fumando o quê? 😂
Finally, someone remember embraer exist and saw that it's good.
The 390 may well be needed by the UK Royal Air Force as it has dispensed with its 130J's. Yes it has the AS400 (Atlas) but thats in the Heavier Lift category below C17. There is an Aircraft missing from the mid Range Lift Missions and the 390 would fit very well. Time will tell........
Then Britain should come to the Boeing Company and ask them to build a modern version of the YC-14 thst was designed 45 years ago to replace the Lockheed C-130 ! The YC-14 which is superior to both the Japanese and the Brazilian prototypes and its technology is almost 50 years old! What could Boeing create in these YC-14 Prototypes updating with today's tech? Hmmmm
The main reason why the RAF disposed of their 130s is that they couldn't afford to keep them after budget and staff cuts!
@@turkey0165 YC-14 is a dreamers airplane. Not practical.
@carlosaugustoerthal8098 🤣 Very practical and using the technology of fifty years ago excluding todays tech is superior in every way to what the Brazilians in their C390! Can up with today! The Boeing YC-14 even with its then 50 tech makes the pathetic C390 inferior! I dare you to look at the Utube videos on the YC-14 performance then even compared to today's poor performance of the C390, I dare YOU ! I double dare YOU! 🤣 0:04 P.S.

Amazing aircraft. The best in it's category.
Something not mentioned that should have been compared.. takeoff and landing performance. Being able to operate from short runways.

Best cargo plane in the category, excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

What is cutting edge ?
We are proud of Embraer !!
You should be proud of Embraer. But don't let that blind you about the competition. I suspect the C390 will be mildly successful and that will meet a much market. Probably make about 200 of them when all is done.
Nich market
C-390 by far! Great plane!
I think in the near or far future embrear might create a C17 competitor.
The US Air Force loves the C17! They are Very happy with it.
Near Future, like the NEXT Century? A few sales and you think you are world leaders?
O C17 saiu de produção. Não vejo uma necessidade da Força Aérea Brasileira por um avião desse porte, somente se a Embraer for contratada por uma outra força um avião como o C17 será desenvolvido.
What a great looking aircraft.
EMBRAER has a very good rep. The Ole Herky Bird though is like the M2 Machine gun, it just works. I can see this thing joining alongside it, not sure it could ever completely replace it.

Embraer has a great product here. I imagine Sweden will get a few of these soon (via the Gripen JAS39 E deal). And this could be a killer combo now that Sweden is becoming aligned (probably increasing the market for the Gripen) with nations that want to up their air defence without going insane with the lifetime costs of operation. Provide the extremely capable and reasonably costly Gripen with a medium transporter/air refueler like the 390 and the new NATO trainer jet (that the SAAB also designed with Boeing) - offering a really good trainer both for advanced 4th and 5th gen pilots.
For example, Romania has just received the first of 32 F-16 A/MLU fighters from Norway. Though they were massively upgraded 2 decades ago to Block 50 standard), the bodies are 40 years + old. Thus we can easily imagine that Romania will use the F-16 as a stepping stone to new(er) airframes within the next decade. These are markets where the Swedish-Brazilian partnership can find a lot of success for nations that want an air defence, not being willing to pay the extra cash to fly 5th gen deep into contested airspace outside their own borders.
I even think this combo can be really interesting for nations that (will) fly F-35s, as we see even the USA now is busy procuring advanced gen 4+ fighters to their stealth fleet (the F-15EX and F-16 block 70). Poland is doing the same - creating a mixed fleet of 4th and 5th gen assets, as is the UK (flying F-35 B and the Typhoon). Israel, Japan, Germany, Italy, South Korea (etc.) are applying the same strategy of a "generation mix" (yes I know that fighter generations are a mess and not really indicating true capabilities/the right job).
a flying jewell . no doubt
Beautiful and incredible. 👍🙏
It's time for new birds and C390 is a pragmatic offering. Given today's world tensions, it is to be expected a great future.
The KC-390 is the technological successor to the C-130 Hercules.
Always thought the Tucano was a dam sexy aircraft. But it caused me a lot of grief.
When my 152 found out even couple's counseling couldn't help.
Beautiful Aircraft. Great Stats.
The C-390 Millennium is the best military transport aircraft ever made. Comparing to the C-130J, it has higher payload capacity, operational range, speed, and operational flexibility. C-390 is better on every single aspect and on the top of all that, it is CHEAPER!
And it can’t land on the same short runways as a C-130. It is an intermediate transport aircraft. The USA figured this out years ago that’s why they have a C-17s for long range and C-130 for short range.
@@Chris_at_Home The C-390 was design to take off and land on short and unprepared airfields. It was certified to the most severe unprepared airfield from the norm MIL-A-008866B. It was design to fly at low speed. It can even refuel helicopters.
Embraer´s engineers left nothing to the C-130J.
Pretty confident statement for a brand new aircraft. It looks impressive, but give it time before stating it's the best ever made
Love your enthusiasm, but I think you have had too much coffee.
@@raywhitehead730 People are buying it because it’s cheaper. Australia ordered a couple dozen C-130J recently. The US has no use for the C-390 because they use the C-17 for long range heavy transport and the C-130s for close in tactical support. The countries buying the C-390 aren’t worried about logistics across vast oceans, they depend on the USA for that.
By far the best airplane in this category.
engines reliability, operations in desert like environments & dust, engine reverse trust, runway length & max effort, optional navigation and vision systems, wheel replacement

A civilian cargo version of the C390 would be great.
I'm Brazilian and I'm more proud of our aeronautical industry than our football. hahaha
Success already becomes clear. Just see the list of current C-390 buyers, in addition to Brazil: Austria, Czech republic, Hungary, Portugal, Netherlands, South Korea.
BRASIL GIGANTE POR NATUREZA! 🇧🇷
I think the Brazilian embryer. C3 90 is a pretty impressive cargo plane. I think it has its roles. For countries that don't need a medium left aircraft. Going to real dusty Rough airstrips I think it's perfect. It's like a smaller version of the bowl in C17 globe master. Think the Lockheed. 130 Hercules is a pretty robust cargo aircraft. That can land in dusty. Not really well kept air strips. The C130 hit Hercules has been around since the late 1950s. It's try testing and true, but the embryer. Option is pretty good.
EMBRAER
The turboprops on the Hercules are quite a bitch to maintain when used on dusty land. Those fine particles degrade the spinning parts fast.
O kc 390 foi desenvolvido para pouso e decolagem na Amazonia, lá não tem pista pavimentada.
@@Swordphobic Yet the C390 has 2 massive vacuum cleaners under it's wings - complete and utter FOD magnets!
@@Smokeyr67 Those vacuum cleaners have faaar less moving parts.
It will certainly be hard to dethrone the C-130. It will be interesting to observe how this plays out over several decades. The C390 has remarkable abilities, but is largely unproven in real world situations. As a Brazilian, I hope the C390 has a long and successful lifespan. Being a product of Embraer, it starts out on solid footing with a worldwide support system already in place. Given Embraer's success, it is likely that the C390 will follow suit. We shall see...
Kc-390 will. It’s the best in its class by far in every way

Love the furry pilot chairs. Really bus/taxi driver-core.
When I retired from the US Department of Defense after 40 years and went to work for Lockheed Martin I used to joke with the younger engineers that as a US Army paratrooper I have jumped out of more C-130's than I have ever landed in. That said, it would be interesting to see what LM dreams up for this market segment.
The Brazilian machine is far superior and more practical for allround rugged worldwide service. Well done C390 !
Sem comparação!!! O KC390 é outro nível.. O Brasil sabe o que produz!!!
Is it just a happy coincidence that 130 x 3 = 390 /
3= All military planes from Embraer
90= comes from e-190 family
Looks great
Finally Brazil is doing something good! Boa brasil!
Good looking plane. You say it is faster,more fuel efficient,greater payload and greater range than a plane 70 yrs old. Congrats. I wonder how it would compare to the C-130’s offensive model. I like to see other nations innovating. If every nation is gonna beg for one , be ready for the responsibility of serving with parts and upgrades for the bar set by the C-130, 70 years.
To me, it feels like the two have been designed for two different roles. The C130 as a tactical and the KC390 as a strategic airlifter.
the development of the kc-390 was a study by the Brazilian air force to replace the c130
There will be a market for both the C130 and C390. Both may have the same mission but both may have different missions for different peace time and war time needs. Lety me give you just one example. In the US a C130 model is used as a Hurricane Hunter. It is perfect for that mission as is the Coast Guard use of the C130 for search and rescue. Now when it comes to airlift and distance the C390 will excel but in a small country moving freight say around a country the size of Italy, a C130 would be just fine, Different strokes for different folks.
O KC390 veio pra dominar o mercado
Embraer C390 is the new best of the best!
Passa vergonha na gente não, emocionado.
Newest C390 Embraer hunt new markets, since BRICS are huge growing.
this is a great plane.
Considering only about technical, a country that have aging C-130s should consider the C-390 as a viable solution.
Alright, all the maintenance crew should be considered, to see if it's better to maintain 4 T56 turboprop engines or 2 IAE turbofans, and what does that tend to be as availability of the aircraft.
Fuel consumption, time to deliver, etcetera.
We all know that giving a mission to a C-130... consider the mission is done.
Only time will tell if this would be true also to the C-390.
It appears to be fine.
I have a feeling, by it look, that it can be stretched a little more. If it's true, what would be its characteristics? Even more game changer?
Embraer executives have said it can be stretched but it would need different engines. The problem is… if you’re a Millennium operator, would you consider buying a super Millennium with different engines?
The Brazilian air force already had missions with the C390 at Haiti,Ukraine,Israel,Antarctica,also during the pandemic in Brazil they all had an insane logistics going on to keep the hospitals supplied with oxygen and medical equipments..
All missions that were previously done by the C130
Gotta say I love anything V2500 powered. :-)
I'm sure the C130 excells on short or unimproved runways. Both airplanes have their strong points.
Unfortunate it’s not the case , the c 390 is made for shitty and short runways
Yes. It was designed to land in the middle of the Amazon.
Even with all these operational qualities of the C-390 Millennium, Australia chose the old C-130, was that because of the Aukus?

Embraer the best!
Faster, greater load capacity, lower operating cost, easier maintenance and, on top of that, cheaper. I don't think there's even a discussion. Australia recently decided to buy the Hercules and it became a political scandal
No it hasn't, you have to remember your logistics and maintenance trains, in Australia its geared towards the C-130J and it would cost a fortune to change over to the Embracer, , and dont forget we have the C-27J and C-17
If by recently decided to buy the Hercules you mean 1958, then you're 100% correct. As for you're claim of a political scandal regarding the recently signed contract to acquire 20 more J models for the RAAF - that only exists in your fevered dreams.

👍👍👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤ Excelência em tudo.
I noticed that Embraer is selling small lots of a total 16 units to 5 different militaries in Europe. They sell 4 here and 2 there. The C-390 appears to be very small, so small it might carry only 2 jeeps. At this rate I don't think they'll overtake the Hercules.
No brainer to buy C390 than C130 for price & performance.
Does the C-390 also provide mid-air refueling capabilities?
Yes
MAR is one of the tasks the C390 was designed around - so much so that it's original codename was KC-390.
The K indicated the aircraft is a refueling plane - like the KC-135 Stratotanker.
Yes, and it can be also refueled as well! The original designation of the plane is KC-390.
Yes
Can it fly slow enough to refuel choppers and does it need a longer runway to stop?
C130 stops in 1090m
C390 in 1100m
So basically the same and you fly faster,carries more weight...etc.
Can it land on rough unpaved strips and handle FOD that propeller aircraft can?
She’s a nice craft….
Better is whichever does what its specified to do at a lesser cost and all parts are available in conflicts.
It's so easy to understand this is an made in US video. Not only one reference to the Airbus A400 which also competes with the Super Hercules and has been adopted by major european military as well as asian countries like Malasya and Indonesia. The KC-390 Millennium is though a game changer with jet turbofans instead of usual transport planes with propellers. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but summing all up my money is (an literally is a PT bought 5 to reforce or replace its ageing fleet of Hercules C-130H, although all of them had been overhauled few months ago - we still have only 1 of 5 [the later to be delivered in 2027 - we're a small country but had to upgrade the Hercules cause we couldn't wait to operate cargo at full throttle just in 2027]) on the Embraer Model. Portugal was the first European and NATO (with NATO compliance already in use in the first received aircraft) country to operate one of this. News are that other EU and NATO countries are already interested in purchasing numbers of this plane to operate in their air forces. In Europe Hungary, The Netherlands and Austria, surpassing 4 contenders in the Netherlands conducted tests and even the air force demands for the airplane. Outside Europe, South Korea has bought 3 as they see a lot of potential regarding the Aircraft, which is no surprise, by 2026 and likely to buy more. But really, where was any mention to the A400 which was the biggest competitor of the Super Hercules?.... Poor research, I might guess.
