Russia has the best air defense in the world. C-130 is a big slow moving target. Even in Afghanistan they operated only at night.

Sure the best...right

I assume you believe China has the best?

Regardless C-130 gunships are a hilariously bad idea. This isn't Call of Duty son.

I wouldn't know who has the best, but I know if you have to say it, it's probably not true.

130s are a bad idea, but meant to rattle chains.

Or course it can't be the best, because they aren't the USA
