Either way they work the same.

so, not at all, considering they even lost in Afghanistan

There you go. Time to give Ukraine some AC 130 gun ships. Good suggestion.

Russia has the best air defense in the world. C-130 is a big slow moving target. Even in Afghanistan they operated only at night.

Sure the best...right

[-] Annakah69@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

I assume you believe China has the best?

Regardless C-130 gunships are a hilariously bad idea. This isn't Call of Duty son.

I wouldn't know who has the best, but I know if you have to say it, it's probably not true.

130s are a bad idea, but meant to rattle chains.

I guess if I was manning a SAM I would be a little rattled the first time it started raining fuselage parts

Or course it can't be the best, because they aren't the USA
