| Yes, I know a C-130E carrying a suspended TMA-1 makes for a better visual, but there are better ways of doing this. For example, depending on the size and weight of TMA-1,
1. Slung from a CH-47 Chinook, or,
2. Air dropped in palletized form from a C-130, C-141, or C-17 (see BLU-82 or GBU-43 MOAB)
Another thing I'm not supposed to ask: How did that C-130 get off the ground? And please don't say 'With great difficulty'. |
