</p><p>In a statement on Wednesday, NAF described the C-130 Hercules as a dependable “strategic workhorse†that has, for decades, remained central to troop deployment, logistics support, combat operations, and life-saving humanitarian missions.</p><p style=»display: inline;» class=»WPAuto_Base_Readability-styled»>
