The AC-130 is a pretty vulnerable plane and when hit, it can glide for only short dist due to the guns and extra weights.

but it can carry heavier armaments fly higher levelling suspected enemy hideouts and training camps.Originally posted by SBS3624G:The AC-130 is a pretty vulnerable plane and when hit, it can glide for only short dist due to the guns and extra weights.
The americans affectionately called it "Puff the magic dragon"
first used it to support their troops in the jungles of vietnam. And is good for urban/jungle warfare no? -
RSAF should get one!!!

.notice the slow speed of AC-130 in the airOriginally posted by kaka_22:RSAF should get one!!!
will get taken down by jets before even start firing
use in afghanistan cause they got hardly any air force opposing them. -
yah .. in fact most rebels or terrorists dun have airforce, or radar and If they cannot see the plane with their naked eye their shoulder carrying sams are also useless. And even if they did fire sams the plane would probably have some countermeasures.
So ya lor .. we shud get some of these. -
nonononono...the al-qaida didnt have an airforce...but the taliban had a few planes...MIGs mostly...like the 21s not sure if they also have 23...but i DEFINITELY noe tat they have an airforce...but to sae the truth it's nothing compared to wat the US have...Originally posted by KumSioJui:yah .. in fact most rebels or terrorists dun have airforce, or radar and If they cannot see the plane with their naked eye their shoulder carrying sams are also useless.

Their air force is virtually non existant..the best anti -aircraft defense they got is probably some AA gun or SA-7 missile launcher...Originally posted by Lance_han:nonononono...the al-qaida didnt have an airforce...but the taliban had a few planes...MIGs mostly...like the 21s not sure if they also have 23...but i DEFINITELY noe tat they have an airforce...but to sae the truth it's nothing compared to wat the US have...
which poses no threat to AC-130..
But for us to use it...our neighbours got quite some sophisticated anti air defense systems...which was modernised recently.. -
They are called Flying coffins for a reason..Originally posted by Lance_han:nonononono...the al-qaida didnt have an airforce...but the taliban had a few planes...MIGs mostly...like the 21s not sure if they also have 23...but i DEFINITELY noe tat they have an airforce...but to sae the truth it's nothing compared to wat the US have...

The video would be of different story if they had got shot down....

It is easily taken out of the skies. And the fact that it orbits banking around a spot to aim the guns make it even easier to kill.Originally posted by KumSioJui:but it can carry heavier armaments fly higher levelling suspected enemy hideouts and training camps.
