Greece's procurement of the KC-390 Millennium marks it as the seventh European country to integrate the multi-mission platform into its armed forces. Meanwhile, the Indian Air Force is assessing a nearly Rs 1 lakh crore deal for 60 aircraft to phase out over 100 aging An-32s and relieve parts of the Il-76 fleet following a fatal crash in Jorhat. Alongside Embraer, the Airbus A400M Atlas and Lockheed Martin's battle-tested C-130J Super Hercules are actively competing for the Indian tender. India's ultimate selection will depend heavily on unpaved terrain performance, payload capacity, and delivery schedules along critical borders.

Greece has become the latest European country to pick Embraer's KC-390 Millennium to modernise its air transport fleet. The Hellenic Ministry of National Defense has signed a contract for three aircraft, with options for three more, through a government-to-government agreement between Greece and Portugal. The first aircraft is due in 2027 and will boost the Hellenic Air Force's airlift and air-to-air refuelling capabilities, while improving interoperability with NATO and allied forces.
Greece is the seventh European nation to select the aircraft, after Portugal, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic and Sweden. Outside Europe, it is operated by Brazil, South Korea, Uzbekistan, the UAE and Colombia. The aircraft carries 26 tonnes, cruises at up to 470 knots and can operate from temporary or unpaved runways. It handles cargo and troop transport, airdrops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting and humanitarian missions, and with quick-installation refuelling equipment it can work as both a tanker and a receiver.
