Why Nothing Can Kill AC-130 Gunship

Рет қаралды 931,858

Жыл бұрын

These heavily armed aircraft incorporate side-firing weapons integrated with sophisticated sensor, navigation and fire control systems to provide surgical firepower or area saturation during extended loiter periods, at night and in adverse weather. The sensor suite consists of a television sensor, infrared sensor and radar. These sensors allow the gunship to visually or electronically identify friendly ground forces and targets.
The AC-130 is armed with a fearsome array of weaponry, including a 105 mm cannon and 25 or 40 mm gatling guns.

In Desert Storm an AC-130 was shot down by a SAM and was the largest air crew loss of life during the war. Great as they are, they are vulnerable to SAMS and AAA.

The newer versions of the AC 130 have fewer guns and more missiles than the older ones. This is to allow longer range engagements to reduce getting shot down. The first AC130A had four 20mm Vulcan gatling guns, later replaced with two Vulcans, two 40mm Bofors L60 cannon and two M134 miniguns. The miniguns were removed and one 40mm replaced with the M101A1 howitzer for the AC130H. The AC130U replaced the two Vulcans with the 25mm GAU12U Equalizer. Later versions replaced the 25mm and 40mm with one MK 44 30mm Bushmaster III cannon and retained the 105mm howitzer. Some versions also use the Gryphon missile that launches from the portside aft door.

@robhaythorne4464 Жыл бұрын

The airborne 105s are actually artillery pieces, not tank guns. They have rifled barrels, and they don't have kinetic energy rounds, for example. The chosen payloads are either HEAT or anti-personnel (fleshette) versions. The 105mm was selected because it is a one man lift, and because of its smaller size, the airplane can carry more of them. The original version of this was aboard a DC3 (C47). Had only one or two multi-barrel machine guns. It was called "Puff The Magic Dragon," because when shooting, especially at night, it looked like it was belching fire.

Actually, that was its ancestor, the AC-47 Spooky aka “Puff, the Magic Dragon”. Those had four 7.62 mm mini-guns.

So the correct tittle is ''Why AC-130 can kill anything'', big guns don't make you immortal.

Only the Navy uses port and starboard, and that's generally used only when speaking of shops and boats, not aircraft. Of the dozens of Navy pilots and aircraft mechanics I've worked with, all of them used left and right, when talking about the jets we worked on.
