The problem with the Hercules bomber was rather more fundmental.

KC-130J Harvest hawk might have been useful just a little late..

Wow!! neat. Obviously, could of been very useful,
but a lot changes in 30 years.
Really, 30 years since the Falklands!
How old is that plane!! It sure was not new when
I got carted around in them? First flew in 1954!!!

The J models are only a few years old.

But remember the Hercs during Viet-nam
with the Firebee & ALQ-34 drones.
some of that era could have been made into
attack missles if they had thought that out..

but the Argies didn,t have anything like that.
