We’ve got at least 12 different types of Cargo planes, so I don’t see weapon deliveries to Ukraine impacted.

1. Douglas C-133 Cargomaster
2. EADS CASA C-295
3. Aero Spacelines Super Guppy
4. Canadair CL-44
5. Boeing 747 Dreamlifter
6. Lockheed C-5 Galaxy
7. Airbus A400M Atlas
8. Embraer KC-390
9. Lockheed R6V Constitution
10. Kawasaki C-2
11. Bristol Freighter
12. Boeing C-17 Globemaster III

I don’t even see C-130H in the list. Are they included under C-133?

Questionable list.

The C-130H is just one model of the C-130 that stretches back over 60 years. It’s actually one of the older models still in service. It’s being replaced by the C-130J model that has more cargo capacity and improved engines.

I’ve flown on the older models and the -J. The old ones were good but the -J is like a whole different aircraft. It’s maybe a little past time to replace the older birds.

I don’t think that C-133’s are in service anymore.
