the SAAF needs to replace their C130s(50 YEARS OLD) and 707 refuelers(RETIRED).  So what would be the best option a C17/ C130J mix or go for the russian ils/an120

There are other options than American or Russian (is that what you mean by ils/an120?  What types do you really mean?).. 

South Africa ordered A400M, but cancelled it, supposedly due to the price having escalated - but the price given as the reason for cancellation was greatly exaggerated.  A new order would be politically difficult, but would meet the requirement.
