A U.S. Air Force Lockheed Martin MC-130J Commando II special operations variant of the C-130 Hercules flies in formation during USAFE Days 2023. The MC‑130J uses four Rolls‑Royce AE 2100D3 turboprop engines with six‑blade propellers, modern avionics and defensive systems for infiltration, exfiltration, resupply and aerial refuelling tasks. Its robust airframe and systems support operations in austere environments.
