There is a HUGE difference between "warplanes" and "military aircraft" and the Brits are NOT using the former to assist here.

Another hideous example of 'wealth over environment' (Trump) pushed by another authoritarian tool for his nation's (and the globe's?) ruling class. As the Earth burns.

Macron on Monday condemned "extraordinarily rude" comments made about his wife Brigitte by Bolsonaro a day earlier.

Men prove their wimpyness when they are on their third wives and even had to purchase them. If they weren't rich or powerful these women would not give them the time of day.

This is like watching a fatal car accident in slow motion and the planet is riding in the front seat.

*Definition of *warplane

: a military airplane

A warplane, by definition is a military aircraft armed for combat with guns, missiles, bombs, i.e., fighter, bomber, attack aircraft. Examples of warplanes are F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22, F-35, B-1B, B-2, B-52

The C-130 is an unarmed military cargo/transport aircraft and is NOT considered a warplane in the literal sense.

The only thing they have in common is that they are military aircraft and built to military specs.

Also mentioned in the article is a Boeing 747-400, which is NOT a military aircraft or warplane.

As Yubaru pointed out, there is HUGE difference between "warplane" like a F-35 or B-2 and a "military aircraft" like a C-130.

The headline use of term "warplanes" is inaccurate.

So the Lear jets that are used by the military are warplanes? I guess then you would also say that the fleet of chartered aircraft they military uses are also "warplanes" to you as well.

This plane used here is also used by civilians as well, but since they are C-130's to you they are "warplanes".

I really dont see how anyone with any intelligence could confuse the difference!

Ah, but to the anti-military mindset, everything associated with the military is synonymous with "WAR". Hence, any military plane is a WARplane. A Navy ship, even if it's a noncombatant vessel, is a WARship.
