Lockheed Martin and The Republic of the Philippines Department of National Defense have announced the acquisition of three C-130J-30 Super Hercules tactical airlifters from Lockheed Martin, solidifying their position as a long-standing C-130 operator. These new Super Hercules aircraft are set to enhance the capabilities of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) and expand their humanitarian, military, and disaster relief efforts.
The C-130J-30 is a proven workhorse in the world of tactical airlift, with a reputation for delivering exceptional performance and reliability even in challenging environmental and geographic conditions.
