Anyone have any data in regards to the types of military vehicles and
number
carried that could fit inside the plane for air transport?

Looking at the French Army vehicle mainly - thanks in advance

Some answers

Payloads - up to 93 troops or 61-68 paratroops,
Cabin length - 44ft 4 in
Cabin volume - 4940 ft3

Max payload 16000 kg
Range with max payload 1000 nm

This compares with the C130H (not H-30)

92 troops or 64 paratroops,
Cabin length 41 ft
Volume 4351 ft3

Max payload 19356 kg
Range with max payload 2046 km

(from Jane's Civil and Military Upgrades, 94-95)

So, basically, the Transall can carry most things that a Hercules can but
only about half as far.

Hope this is of some help.
