My cousin was in the bomb squad, and he said they needed to work bare handed, because wearing gloves, especially bulky ones would jeopardize the mission. I'm glad the robots came on board, giving a human a chance to go home to his family.

Please get it right. The howitzer is a 105 mm cannon, not a 155 mm.

That cockpit was all physical gauges. Is that normal or is it because the AC-130s were built a while ago? Almost all civilian aircraft are digital now, if not all passenger aircraft.

Why do the flight crew not wear parachutes? With the loss of several AC 130's over the years wouldn't giving crews the option of bailing out make sense.

Дрон ему, в корму, не для современных реалий этот транспортник.

Definitely wouldn't want to be on the business side of the Spooky

The M-102 is a 105mm howitzer, not 155mm. Just sayin.

أعتقد أنهم عندما سيدخلون في مواجهة مع روسيا ستتفتت هذه الطائرة😂

В условиях реального боя, при работе истребительной авиации противника, пво, пзрк, они думают, что так же будут спокойно кружить и расстреливать противника? Это против партизан каких нибудь пойдет. Но, как мы помним, бравые вояки сваливали и от вьетнамцев и от талибов сверкая пятками. А так да, видосик красивый !

I still say the hand loading could be overhauled with a preloaded rack that plugs into the side of the aircraft . That way a loader vehicle could buzz out and remove the old rack a plug in the new one in a few minutes and that would cut down all the extra time involved with hand loading . I say hand loading is outdated but it still works . :O)

5:00 ...the "nut normal rate" is only three rounds per minute? Wow, ok....

[Daniel-Wu]

Without absolute air superiority, this thing is a target
One air-to-air shot and that was it😅

[jslevenson]

those things can save you or mess you up. for real.

Скорость снаряда с высоты поражает больше броню

[ms.annthrope]

Muzzel velocity of 1, 000 feet per second is what a weak 9mm does. Im sure it shoots a lot faster than that. A quick google check shows that it shoots 25mm rounds at over 1, 300 METERS per second. Thats

[LeicaM]

Who was Mr. Howitzer? Or do you mean Haubitze?

[РамильМухаметов-фи]

Этот самолет хорош только против бармалеев с автоматами, любое ПВО его собьет
