Tunisia C-130B/H Fleet Update

The United States transferred a C-130H Hercules to the Tunisian Air Force during a ceremony at Sidi Ahmed Air Base in Bizerte on January 13, 2026. This marks the fourth C-130 delivered by the US government to Tunisia since 2021, bringing the fleet to six aircraft. The delivery was attended by US Ambassador Bill Bazzi and Tunisian Minister of National Defense Khaled Sehili. The additional airlift capacity will enhance Tunisia's ability to conduct joint exercises, security operations, and rapid response missions across the region.
