Very false. It excels at close air support. Period. It's the main thing used in infantry skirmishes. It's incredibly nimble and precise compared to an AC-130. It's also very cheap.
I don't think you'll find anything more precise in terms of air support. You'd be surprised how low they go, and how close the pilot can get.
An MQ-9 is not going give much support, it's great for blowing up an innocent family like recently or proper assassinations, one off hits.
The support an AC-130 gives is immense, but it can't see everywhere and most of it's weapons are too close for some skirmishes.
Sometimes you do need a flying machine gun for those hard to reach areas.
The A-10 is the attachment suction tube on your vacuum. AC-130 would be the main vacuum itself. MQ-9 is the spot cleaner for before or after.
- BariumBlue 5y ago> MQ-9s great at blowing up innocents MQ-9s are a tool. They're a very useful/versatile tool for the military, which is why they're used a lot, even though they are easy to misuse and use unethically. We don't hear about A-10s killing people because they're not used for it because they're trash at it.
- hunterb123 5y agoMy point was they are great (and not so great) for planned assassinations. Not really for providing cover. An A-10 pilot might even be close enough to see there are children in the car and abort. An MQ-9 you are much higher up and you are relying on intel mostly.
