WHAT IS A KC-130 AIRCRAFT?



The KC-130 family of transport aircrafts are primarily used by both the the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Marine Corps.


The aircraft, which is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, is also sometimes utilized by other branches of the military to transport vehicles, personnel and equipment.


While also having the capacity to simultaneously refuel two fighter aircraft at 300 gallons per minute.


The KC-130J is the latest variant of the planes to be operated by the U.S. Marine Corps, according to Lockheed Martin.

'It is battle-tested and delivers unmatched tanking capabilities delivering fuel to a multitude of platforms, from helicopters to the F-35B Lightning II, the world's most advanced 5th generation multirole fighter,' according to the Lockheed Martin website.

So far, 48 KC-130J planes have been made by Lockheed Martin of the 79 ordered by the military.

Hmm...

R.I.P to the dead.

I have told you to STOP brainwashing my people with this made-in-amerika propaganda. The F-35B is not, and will never be the world's most advanced 5th generation multirole fighter.

Yet Another F-35 Fighter Catches Fire

A Marine Corps F-35B Joint Strike Fighter caught fire in mid-air, causing at least two million dollars in damage to the aircraft.

The aircraft landed safely and the pilot was unharmed. It's the third fire for the controversial jet.

The incident took place on October 27th, when a F-35B part of Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 caught fire in the internal weapons bay. The F-35 has two internal bays, meant to hide weapons inside the aircraft's bulk and preserve the plane's stealthy form.

The cause of the fire was unknown but the accident is under investigation. The accident was classified as a "Class A," which means that at least two million dollars' worth of damage was estimated to have been done to the aircraft.

This flying bicycle cannot even match or stand up to Russia's Mig-35 or SU-35 in any way.

Now, before any of you “copy & paste” Amerikan arm-chair analysts start quoting me up & down about the F-35 being stealthy, remember there's nothing like STEALTH to Russia's S-300, S-400 & S-350.

If na Nigeria now, you go see some idiots with low self esteem issues masturbating on this thread.

I wonder when my people will value themselves more than they value foreigners.

It's just the same way guys see girls. Most guys place more value on girls than their fellow guys. But most girls behave like the world revolves around their bum bum.

It's already becoming a norm. But I won't be part of that shît.

OMG!

Damn

If this were to happen in Nigeria, you will be amazed at how the whole world and some Nigerians would mock us.
During the Rann Bombing incident, Americans were all over the internet asking foolish questions like "how did Nigeria have a fighter jet." "Oh, I never knew they could fly one, lol."
Meanwhile, they are number one mass murder, every day their pilots kill innocent civilians in their sorties, whether in schools or hospitals. They just bomb anything and get away with. They have ran out of f*cks.
In 2015, they bombed an hospital in Afghanistan for over three hours.
