Are you aware sir of any modern light tank that can fit inside the C130 and how many of it the Herc can carry?

hi there thundermouse! :)
here are some of the light tank types which are transportable via the C-130 Hercules. i just don't have the idea on how many of these tanks can if into the C-130 at a time...
* Scorpion light tank (combat weight: 8.7 tons)

* SK 105 Kurassier light tank/tank destroyer (combat weight: 17.7 tons)

* Stingray II light tank (combat weight: 20 tons)

* AMX 13 light tank (combat weight: 15 tons)

* CV 90120 light tank (combat weight: 26 to 27.7 tons) (everyone: is this C-130 transportable???)

please also check on these informations because i am not assuring you if all of these vehicles are C-130-transportable. however, i am assuring you that i did my best to answer your question... :)
peace! ;)

the Herc can load three Scorpions or probably two CV90 tanks

Clearly, recent events have clouded your views about the Filipino soldier. Having Filipino ancestry does not make you an expert on the mental attitude of the Filipino soldier. Come to the Philippines. Live with the soldiers in the jungles of Basilan or Quezon, maybe then it will show you how what a Filipino soldier really is.

Too taken and blinded by the American Dream to remember your good manners Sean?
How about heeding Aldon's advice and come see and observe for yourself?
