USAF has many options when it's about gunning all terrain options:
C130, yeah, that plane can literally wipe an entire convoy of cars, tanks, and landforces with thousands of heavy rounds, same as the A-10.
Apache helicopters and A-10.
And the list goes one.
I don't think it's wise to use fighters to attack land targets, more than blowing bridges or targeting tanks with missiles. The amount of rounds and the guns used in these fighters aren't suitable in my opinion. Yes, you can fight with it but that doesn't mean it's practical.
- AdrianB1 7y agoA AC-130 cannot carry "thousands of heavy rounds", it is a plane not a battleship; it has a couple of dozen 105mm "heavy rounds" and a few hundred 25 or 30 mm projectiles. In the modern world, automatic cannon rounds are not classified as heavy.
- meerita 7y agoAn AC-130 Spectre, for example, carries 8 cannons: 4x GAU-2B/A (Army M134) 7.62mm "minigun" to tear apart any lightweight vehicles, soldiers, helicopters and more. Another 4x M61 20-27mm caliber dealing 6000 rounds per minute. Let me know where is your definition of "heavy calibers" and quantities.
