The Israeli regime has received the first of three C-130J Super Hercules airlifters from the US aerospace company, Lockheed Martin.
The aircraft was delivered to the Israeli Air Force (IAF) during a ceremony at the companys Aeronautics production facility on Wednesday.

The IAF named the aircraft Shimshon, a Hebrew word for Samson.

The Lockheed Martins vice president and general manager, George Shultz, said the new C-130J builds on the tradition of its predecessors with unique capabilities that are not only proven, but without equal.
With its glass cockpit and modern digital avionics, the C-130J has proven it performs in all environments: hot, cold, dirt and sand, he also said.
The aircraft will move into a modification program and will arrive in Israel next year.

The Tel Aviv regime ordered three C-130Js through a Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract with the American government.
