Looking at the specs for the new aircraft, does that mean it will be the A400?
Would be logical.

Volgens mij is er toch al beslist dat het C-130 J zou worden? En dan 5 stuks?

Think the C-390 Millennium has little chance, as Defence is looking for a proven, off-the-shelf-plane with >2000 miles range. C-390 has 1750 miles range.
Nevertheless, would love to see a Millennium with dutch roundels, or even more dreaming, a dutch Kawasaki C-2

5 C-130J's are the most likely choice, as reported earlier by Scramble:
