GUN RUN! Legendary AC-130 Gunship in Action – Exercise Emerald Warrior

USAF Planes (AC-130U Spooky, AC-130W Stinger) in Action During Exercise Emerald Warrior in Florida.

The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily armed, long-endurance ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules transport fixed-wing aircraft. It carries a wide array of anti-ground oriented weapons that are integrated with sophisticated sensors, navigation, and fire-control systems. Unlike other military fixed-wing aircraft, the AC-130 relies on visual targeting. Because its large profile and low operating altitudes (around 7,000 ft) make it an easy target, it usually flies close air support missions at night.

  1. I hear we're going to use this type of s*** at China well I hope we do get it over with maybe this covid-19 will disappear

  2. американские улупки уже незнают что придумать сцыкуны все аружие придумано только на дальней дистанции

  3. Какой же AC-130 крутой )Жаль у России нет такого…хотя и без такого самолета у России полно "игрушек". Мир!

  4. Gooood evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking…. If you look off to our right you'll see, well nothing but sky and clouds. But if you look off to our left you should see a whole lot of dead and dying assholes that America doesn't like. Thanks for choosing Spooky Airlines.

  5. The biggest problem with dedicated ground attack aircraft is two-fold… you can't use them unless you control the air, and all effective AAA is suppressed (alternately, the enemy has neither capabilities to worry about). The 130 has a big signature, and is a sitting duck for enemy fighters, AAA of 37mm or larger, and shoulder fired missiles like the Strela. The planes and crews took big time loses flying the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

  6. Looks like a dragon from the ground! Well, its fiery breath is the last thing you'll see if you're its enemy!😲😁👌👍💪
