The Lockheed Martin C-130J "Super" Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military
transport aircraft.The first of India's six C-130J Super Hercules airlifters, considered
the world's most advanced transport aircraft, purchased from the US in a
$1 billion
deal has been delivered to the Indian Air Force.
The C-130J primarily performs the tactical portion of an airlift mission. The aircraft is
capable of operating from rough, dirt strips
and is the prime transport for air dropping
troops and equipment into
hostile areas.Equipped with India-unique operational equipment,
including an infrared
detection set (IDS), the aircraft for the first time will provide the
IAF
an ability to conduct precision low-level flying operations,
airdrops and landings in blackout conditions.
This airlifter will play a vital role in supply of military equipments and other
materials to indian posts and stations situated on china border, due to its high lifting
capability. These indian stations are situated on high hills.In total we can say this airlifter
increase power of both IAF and indian army.
