For some years the Transall Fleet of the German Luftwaffe has been used mainly to resupply German ISAF Troops serving in Afghanistan. Because the aircraft are exposed to specific dangers, special protective measures have to be taken to protect them. In the main this means the attachment of external mounting points for Chaff and Flare Dispensers in two pods under the wings, various sensors and a large array of ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) equipment. More than forty years after its maiden flight the C-160 Transall still has an excellent reputation amongst its crews as a safe and reliable transport aircraft. It absolved its maiden flight on 25 March 1963. The first of a total order of 160 aircraft were delivered in May 1967. Of these aircraft 110 Transall C-160D were built for the German "Luftwaffe" and 50 C-160F France. Mass production in Germany finished on 26 October 1972. Due to a further requirement in France another 33 Transall were built between 1978 and 1985 in various configurations. Twenty-five of these aircraft were built as the C-160NG (New Generation) version and are recognisable by their aerial refuelling probe above the cockpit. Whilst all aircraft in this batch are able to be air-refuelled, only 10 however are fitted with a refuelling unit which enables them to refuel other aircraft. The Transall will without doubt remain the workhorse of both air forces for a few years hence until the introduction of its successor - the A400M.
