C-17's and "Armor" airforce-technology.com The design of the cargo compartment allows the C-17 to carry a wide range of vehicles, palleted cargo, paratroops, air-drop loads and aeromedical evacuees. The cargo compartment has a sufficiently large cross-section to transport large wheeled and tracked vehicles, tanks, helicopters (such as the AH-64 Apache), artillery, and weapons such as the Patriot Missile System. The C-17 is capable of carrying out an air drop of outsize firepower Ð such as the Sheridan tank or the Bradley fighting vehicle, if the Bradley is refitted to be air-drop capable. Three Bradley armoured vehicles comprise one deployment load on the C-17. The US Army M-1 main battle tank can be carried with other vehicles. Looks like a tank to me. :o} airforce-technology.com some other gear: airforce-technology.com "Armor" is not just M1's.
