For those curious, this is the typical seating arrangement inside a typical, non-pallet C-17. Expansive wraparound seating and modular middle benches enable an increased carrying capacity. Up to 102 passengers per flight, with more or less depending on theater…

Leave our poorly guarded municipal websites alone! 😡 https://t.co/4S5wG09flD

C-17s are modular, and actually used quite often for moving troops. Done moving men? Rip the aisle seats up and throw in some howitzers on pallets. https://t.co/oi4iAjyow5

@IntelCrab They’re also used as Airborne Paratrooper aircraft, C-47 style! But true points, plus they have better engine speed and well, upgrades than a.. 777/747 for example.

@IntelCrab Or troops around the edges and voluminous freight in the middle. Lots of options.

0115 hours: Indian Air Force transport aircraft heard over #Kashmir, possibly heading to Srinagar.

15+ C-17s into the #Kashmir region since I started monitoring on the 31st. https://t.co/LRuyTnDzQb

@IntelCrab Seats are palletised and fitted in the ADS (Aerial Delivery System) configuration.

@IntelCrab @Natsecjeff C-17 can take upto 260 people I believe.

For sure...although anything above 210 is a tight fit and likely without conventional seating. I'd personally guess the flights we've seen this week are quite full. Turnaround times (time it takes to offload and leave) have been very sluggish, which suggests…

@readingnews247 @DaveCOL22789175 @IntelCrab Plus that C-17s are available and getting charters takes time and causes an opsec risk

While we're on the subject of C-17s, recent satellite imagery of AFS Srinagar (via @detresfa_ ) shows a possible C-17 on the tarmac. Information closely matches with recent eyewitness sightings at the airport.

Today in Moscow, Putin’s storm troopers are threatening to cut off the fingers of arrested protestors who refuse to be fingerprinted. Same police officers are now wearing balaclavas to hide their identities after some being outed last week through crowd sourcing.…
