It’s usually dropped by the C-130, which is a turboprop, not a naturally aspirated prop. There is a big difference between the two
Standard cargo variant also goes 300kts. Slow to fighter jets, but faster than most turbos. They would also very likely be using a faster variant
I don’t think the delivery of the MOAB would be an issue. Thebissue is we have no strategic goals being furthered by its use. It’ll just further galvanize the populace against the US
