Great, now we gotta add cruise missile launcher to the long list of roles of the C-130.
@timestampterrysassistant7638
I remember The Warzone article that first talked about Rapid Dragon. This is a gamechanger 🔥🔥🔥
@teddyballgame4823
This reminds me of when the USAF launched a Minuteman I ICBM from a C5 in 1974.
@billcarruth8122
Next Top Gun movie will be about Tom Cruise when he's 72 flying a cargo plane that drops pallets over the ocean. He can get safely back home in time to have his diaper changed and watch the explosions live on T.V.
@3.9L_V8
Pretty neat, this can practically convert any aircraft capable of carrying these pallets into a weapons delivery platform. It reminds me of China's idea to use their huge fleet of civilian Roll on/Roll off ferries to potentially transport armor and troops for a landing operation
@jameshall1300
That is friggin awesome. Being able to drop those from any old cargo aircraft has to be worrying for any potential enemies. Instead of just bombers and fighters, now a rickety old c130 is a threat to any surface combatant ships that may be nearby. That has to massively change the threat landscape they have to plan for.
@MROJPC
For those wondering why this capability is such a big deal… the USAF has the world’s biggest fleet of cargo aircraft. Standoff missiles have turned legacy airframes that would normally be considered obsolete like the B-52 into long range missile carriers opponents dread… Palletized cruise missiles that can be launched from a cargo plane turns every C-130 and C-17 into a strategic bomber. It turns our fleet of “airborne cargo trucks” into airborne missile carriers that can strike from distance that keep them safe from air defenses and with numbers to saturate opponents. This is a big deal. It’s a capability meant to deal with the threat and distance of the Pacific.
@jollygreen4662
So 60k feet in lower orbit on a remote c130 with automated refueling capability and adrino controlled pallet lock release and cargo area camera... its like a airborne himar launcher
@verdebusterAP
The possibilities this system brings is endless for the USAF as well as the USMC
@Ganiscol
They looked at that old idea of launching a Minuteman from a C-5 Galaxy, dialed it down and made it a worthwhile thing. Think smaller!
@smileydag
This is the scene in Red Storm rising when the Bear Bombers perform a popup and launch EVERYTHING at the US fleet but times 20.
@USViper
Fantastic weapons platform... they won't hear it coming until.... boom
@SargeRho
"oh, it's just a C-5 Galax-" explosions "Where did our fleet go?!"

@angeloicaro661
If US can drop an ICBM from a C5 an fly. This is just a childs play.
@tomservo5007
it's like a ballet in the sky, every step carefully choreographed
@bunnyfufu9933
Yikes that's scary and cool
@h.a.9880
This is such a clever system. You turn a regular transport plane into a mighty weapon of war. Just imagine some large transport plane dropping 45 such cruise missiles in one go. Two or three planes can easily overwhelm defensive lines.
@julwiezdeghorz5089
Lately many new weapons being inducted to the military, but at the end of the day, war will end up nuking each other.
