IL-78s are old and heavy maintenance.IMO if funds allow they will be among the first ones to go.Il-78's we operate can double as strategic airlifters so a sane option would be to procure more of those if a need for such a role ever arises, although ideally a more modern and far more efficient platform should be looked, preferably one that can refuel both F-16's and other platforms.
As for the C-130's in my opinion nothing better than a herk to replace a herk, but keeping in view our foreign relations right now, procurement of C-130J's doesn't seem in reach. A sensible option would be the C295 or another platform in that category, complimented by a smaller platform, again, preferably one we already operate i.e. CN235.
