C-130 Hercs are tough birds. They don’t lose wings willy nilly. Even completely overloaded and with large amounts of airframe time, it is odd.

An anti-aircraft missle will detach a wing pretty quickly, though. This will be an interesting investigation.

Godspeed to those who died and their families. R.I.P.

Yes, more likely took a hit and lost a wing.
