C-130J Super Hercules: transport capability as a clue
Reference notes reviewed
What this category represents
Lockheed Martin presents the C-130J as a cargo aircraft and describes roles that include medical evacuation and humanitarian relief. In the game, Transport Aircraft is a different category from Fighters. A transport clue helps describe how a force moves and supports people and equipment; it does not directly measure its fighter strength.
Do not merge every Hercules entry
The C-130J and the longer C-130J-30 belong to the Super Hercules range, while the dataset also contains other Hercules designations. This page counts only its exact label. A broad family search and an exact-model count answer different questions, so compare related labels before treating the country list as exhaustive.
Read it alongside the rest of the arsenal
Use the transport clue with the target’s geography and the other visible categories. A country can maintain useful airlift without a large combat-aircraft inventory. The model-specific source explains the aircraft; the comparisons below are calculated from Militarydle and do not verify current operational fleet sizes.

country profiles contain the exact label C-130J Super Hercules — 9.1% of the complete dataset. Daily mode uses a smaller country pool, so this is not a probability of the daily answer.
These comparisons describe the game’s imported records. Source years are not recorded per field; the table is not a verified list of current operators. Variant names are counted separately.
