The C-130J will enhance IAF special operations capabilities, and provide modern airlift to support a wide range of national requirements.
Lockheed has equipped the airlifters with an infrared detection set and protection systems to ensure aircraft survivability in hostile air environments.
Equipped with air-to-air receiver refuelling capability for extended range operations, the aircraft can also perform precision low-level flying, airdrops and landing in blackout conditions.
The IAF is expected to receive the remaining two C-130Js later this year.
