Marines Turning KC-130 Refuelers Into AC-130 like attack aircraft
The marines are converting their KC-130's to KC-130j Harvest Hawks. The new version will hold 10 griffin missiles I believe and 4 hellfire's along with the AH-Z Cobras targeting system and a few other gadgets including adding a 30mm cannon like the Cobras or the Apaches since they haven't decided yet I'm not sure. I personally don't get why they don't convert these KC-130 Refuelers into AC-130's considering how badly they are needed and with the troops begging on their hands and knees almost for the military to give or build more AC-130's for them but instead they're taking some of the last AC-130 planes and adding a few things which can't hold a candle to an AC-130's firepower. If they wanted griffin and hellfire missiles the AC-130's could of carried 8 or more hellfire missiles at least and more then 10 griffin missiles. I'm so pissed off I honestly believe they want to get rid of the AC-130's but can't figure out why.
