It Looks Like A C-130 Seaplane Is Finally Happening via THE DRIVE

HERE!

This is darn curious.  Why modify a C-130 instead of buying a purpose built model from our Japanese allies?  The drag on this thing seems like it would be HUGE.  Range limited.

Regardless.  If Air Force Special Ops develops this then you can bet Berger will push so hard to get these in the Marine Corps that he'll develop hemorrhoids.

How long before they try and flex it into a full on amphibious gunship or Harvest Hawk.

This Army Armor Officer's confidence is kinda inspiring

I wonder if he believes all the shit he's talking? If he does then that's fucking awesome! Did anyone notice the distinction he put on this?  Large Scale Ground Combat Ops.  Not counter-insurgency/small wars shit.  He's talking about full scale no holds barred, grab an objective/own the ground type warfare.  With that being the case I kinda believe him!

Damnnnn that is a Freaking Beautiful site!!! Put a #M1Abrams on a #C17 to fly this 72 ton Gorgeous Beast is so #sexy! God Help our enemy if we send these #Tanks against them. We win Large Scale Ground Combat Opns! Proven! “East of the Vistula or North of the Han” don’t test us 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/SOR8EuO97N
