The Botswana Defence Force took possession of a C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft provided by the U.S. in a transfer ceremony during the African Chiefs of Defense Conference in Gaborone.

Known for its toughness and versatility, the $30 million C-130 is used in a variety of missions, including fighting wildfires, delivering humanitarian aid, and conducting search, rescue and defense missions. It will also enhance the Botswana Defence Force’s (BDF) ability to respond to regional challenges, including peacekeeping operations, disaster relief and logistical support.

“This C-130H couldn’t have come at a better time than at this moment,” Thomas Kagiso Mmusi, Botswana’s minister of defense and security, said at the handover ceremony. “Just a year ago, the last of the C-130Bs, which have served us fabulously for a quarter of a century, was grounded. The BDF has diligently performed a variety of mission sets using these aircraft over the years.”
