Fun fact: when the AC-130 fires it’s 25-30mm cannon the bullets impact first and the sound follows after the impacts out of fear of being turned into Swiss cheese
Lmao this is called science, these bullets travel at supersonic speed (faster than sound). Same thing as watching a plane fly over head and it sounds like its 50° in a different direction (assuming its at a higer altitude)
@Jamie Lee A few years ago I heard that they were testing out a bigger caliber for the main gun, 40mm Bofor, and like 2x GAU-8 Avenger 30mm 2100rpm low, 4200rpm high settings. But since then I didnt hear nothing about it, but you know military always moving funds around for other projects and maintenance.
Tiger Claw No problemo. I agree though that they need to get married. She’d beautiful and seems like a real sweetheart. Glad he’s letting her into the the videos a little more. Back when they first got engaged we didn’t even know he had a girlfriend, let alone was engaged. I understand keeping her off the videos though.
The last video you watched is real. It's from the 27th Special Ops Wing. They received the MC-130W, and the Spectre some time in 2009. So this is probably footage from Afghanistan.
Fun fact: The MC-130W is now the AC-130W. It was originally Stinger 2, but after the retirement of the H model the 16th SOS got them and now they’re Spectre
It doesn't really show in any of the videos, but the way an AC130 provides support, is it flyes in a circle overhead, and tilts the plane at a 30 degree angle to point the guns at the enemies, and then it just keeps flying in circles and shooting
Fun fact, those 40mm autocannons are basically just variations of the old WW2 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft cannons :D The same gun is still being used in some warships and combat vehicles because of its versatility and modern smart munitions are still being developed for it. 40mm Bofors still soldiering on!
Bud. I've been binge watching your vids for a couple days. And man. I freakin like u. Lol. Glad u focus on my beautiful country and our superb fire power. I am also glad Estonia and U.S. are on the same page. Thanks for your videos man.
Hey, as a new subscriber I honestly would like to say you have a very entertaining channel. Your desire to learn more about other countries and the aspects that separate them from the rest is amazing to me. Keep it up man!
You asked what it looks like from the ground. When we only had special forces in Afghanistan the ac130 was one of the aircraft that was used heavily for air support. One of the Afghanistan rebel armies our special forces were embedded and working with. When asking for the ac130 the general would ask for "the airplane with the laser". Referring to the howitzer, when watching it be fired from the ground he thought it was a laser gun rather than an artillery piece. Probably in no small part to the absurdity of the idea of putting an artillery piece in an aircraft lol
That is a Gau-12. It’s similar to what is used on some fighter jets. It fires 25mm rounds at a rate of 3600 to 4200 rounds per minute. So yea... that burst you saw was probably at least 2000 rounds!!!
Former USAF munitions tech here. The M61A1 Vulcan cannon fires 20mm rounds, which are classed as light fixed artillery. It has a maximum rate of fire of 6000 rounds per minute. The AC-130s are also outfitted with 105mm Howitzer cannons.
Less info on it, but very effective is the KC-130J "Harvest Hawk" package. Griffin missiles, Hellfire missiles, FLIR targeting, In-flight refueling (GIVING fuel), and as much as ~18 hours on station. Check it out!
One of my section supervisor's job was firing that cannon on the AC130 and some other areal rapid fire aircraft. He was build like a freight train, so I imagine him on some manual gatling gun going to town.
I had the privilege of watching one of these bad boys in person back in 2006... If you have respect for the machine it is truly a thing of beauty to watch. When fully engaged ... this plane will actually shift in the air from firing the 105 cannon that's mounted in it. I have witnessed this plane from the ground with my own eyes... All i can say is i would have hated to be the target.
Artur I think what you're missing is that those 25MM rounds are all HE or High Explosive. So each one of those "Bullets" is in fact a 25MM grenade. So that first 700 round burst was effectively a continuous stream of 700 grenades.
I did did a little reading and math. The AC-130 carries 3000 rounds for the m61 Vulcan gatling gun and fired around 100 rounds per second. That's 30 seconds of ammunition!
Just to answer about how US planes know where friendlies are...troops have an illuminator they wear on their sleeve, they can cover and uncover it. It illuminates their position to friendly air support
The guys in the planes always stay chill, they need to. The ground pounders are in enough adrenaline to go around, we need precision and cold calculated destruction.
These videos are really interesting because it gives me a different viewpoint. For me, this stuff is just common knowledge mostly just due to the fact that having born almost 20 years ago, I've never seen my country not in a war, so I just grew up learning about all this stuff through the news.
I'm from Alaska. It's the biggest state in the US, but we're not in the lower 48. You probably didnt know that. We're right next to Canada and Russia. I love your videos btw 💯💯
You were talking about music notes from the firing of the chaingun. If it fires 70 rounds each second, then its cycle would be 70hz. The Chaingun is firing a between Dflat and D (69hz and 72hz). Tune your guitar to Drop D. the low D is only one octave above the 70hz gun tone being.. played? shot out? lol.
Did you guys know army rangers are what they send to get seals if they are in between a rock and a hard place the true lone survivor explains why if you watch videos on his recovery in Afghanistan when him and his team was in a ambush
Keep up the good work. You asked about using the lasers. I posted this in your last video. Back in the day, I was a cobra pilot. We would do Aim 1 laser target handoff using NVGs from infantry (with glint tape on their uniform and equipment to avoid FF) and then Aim 1 laser handoff to Ac 130 who would light it up with their IR spotlight (1km x 1km square) and we would move on to next infantry target handoff. All without radio calls or targets knowing they were being lit.
13:55 Laser guided munitions... Paveway guided bombs, Hellfire missiles, and some guided artillery shells. The designator can be anywhere in line of sight, on the same or another aircraft, a vehicle, 'crew served' or a book-sized handheld device. Not sure when the ground LLDR were developed, but USAF was using laser guided munitions in Vietnam with an F-4's RSO pointing a handheld laser. They'd tested the first ones way back in 1965...
What's interesting is the gatling gun on the AC-130 is actually a smaller caliber than the one on the A-10 Warthog (25 mm for the AC130, 30 mm for the A10)
Easiest way to see ground based targeting lasers for aircraft would be looking up hellfire missle videos specifically. In the field it was common to use infantry ir pointers to paint targets for Apache longbows to fire from behind cover.
Anytime you see camera footage and certain details are blacked out like that - that's how you know it's footage from military operations. They redact things.
The target marking technique I believe you are referring to is known as matching sparkle. This is when you use an IR Pointer to show the aircraft where your target is located and ask the aircraft to confirm it's location by also using their IR Pointer to mark the target. This way you can confirm that both the JTAC/JFO and the aircraft are looking at the same target. The other technique to mark the target is marking by laser. There is a big difference between an IR Pointer and a Laser Designator. The laser designator uses PRF codes that bombs with guidance systems use to essentially catch the laser and follow it to the target. This is extremely dangerous as the bomb can catch the laser and go the opposite direction. For this technique, you would set up a laser safety cone that is basically the only path the the aircraft can travel so that when it releases the bomb, it doesn't land on friendly troops. Sorry it's kind of long but I hope this explains what you were asking about.
The M109 Paladin is another fun piece of equipment. It is a 155mm tracked artillery piece. Standard high explosive rounds have a range of about 16 miles and rocket guided rounds atleast double that. Even nuclear explosives have been developed to fire from it. When firing with a full charge (or pouring some gun oil down the bore), enough flame exits the muzzle brake to shroud nearly the whole vehicle.
_"Just give us one"_ - One won't be enough. If you want a minimum of one AC-130 available on call 24/7 you would need a minimum of _eight_ AC-130s Two would be undergoing maintenance Three would be on the ground being refueled and rearmed One would be returning from a mission One would be enroute to area of operation And one would be on station providing fire support And this scenario assumes a pretty high availability rate of 75% As cool as the AC-130 is, it's not what the Kaitsevägi needs.
There are two types of laser target marking. A laser designator like the AN/PED-1 uses a pulsed laser that blinks in a code sequence extremely rapidly, and the guidance system for a laser guided missile or bomb will home in on that laser point if it is tuned to the same code. This allows various units to each designate individual targets for particular munitions simultaneously and prevents the enemy from using a simple laser device to divert incoming munitions. The second kind is an aiming laser like the AN/PEQ-15, which is an IR laser for use as an aiming assistance device while using NVGs. While not intended for use as a target marking system, they have been regularly employed as such to allow pilots to easily determine the location of friendlies and targets. No munition will actually follow an aiming laser.
A heat blanket won't save you. Because of the FLIR Sensors can switch from target heat mode to environmental heat mode. Like what you saw at 16:40. The camera sees the heat of the ground under you and you're blocking your own heat you show up as a big black dot. You are fucked either way to Sunday. lol. Target heat mode is just the invertion of the colors where the environment is blackened and the targets glow.
Hey in your other videos when your about to thank the people who bought mugs& the background music starts, who is the girl singing and what's the name of song? I really really love her singing n I really want to listen to more lol: it's the dramatic song that's gets you pumped up hearing it
Hi Artur. I really like your Vids! i have to apologize for making a comment that was FULL of profanities, not ones directed at you or your channel, but specific to Aussie memes...I hope TH-cam didn't give you grief over this. Anyway, my apologies for this.
AC-130U Spooky has a five barreled 25mm GAU-12 Equalizer rotary cannon, a 40mm L60 Bofors, and am M137 105mm howitzer. Currently, the USAF are replacing the AC-130Us with the AC-130W and AC-130J. These utilize a Mk44 Bushmaster II 30mm cannon, the M137 105mm howitzer, wing-mounted pylons for Hellfire missiles and SDB/SDB2 (small diameter bombs), and launch tubes near the aft for Griffin A missiles and precision ordnance.
These guys are mentally strong and physically fit.they wake up on their own at 4.a extra 45 min of sleep more important then success.training these guys have self discipline.they dnt need a smile a come on.these guys and girls are also not stupid intellectually strong also.thank you for their strength,and service.
Have you ever seen Mythbusters? It was a TV series about building things and testing myths and they did an episode where they cut a (dead) tree in half with some kind of Gatling gun (i am not familiar enough to know). It was great.
It's a 105mm Howitzer. My dad served as a Seabee machinist in Vietnam. We have an ashtray he made. I was in my late teens when he finally told me what it was... "that's the butt end of a 105, I cut up several for other soldiers."
Hey Artur my uncle is a Lt. Commander on the USS Ronald Reagen which is a nuclear aircraft carrier, we have things called tiger cruises where family and friends of the crew can stay a weekend on the ship seeing jets take off and land, firing the carriers weapons ect. Also shooting a football off the deck using the catapult and it coming back and seeing who can catch it for a prize. Youre more than welcome to come along haha
Regarding the comment about the laser at 13:50, thats not how it works. Essentially what they're doing is measuring distince and figuring out what grid coordinates they want the ac-130 to hit, then relay that information to the communications aboard the plane. Whether that request is granted is, well, up in the air
I like how Artur is kinda off with the specifications of the guns, for instance thinking 600rpm is op when its shooting around 1800 rpm with supposed plan to replace and upgrade the minigun to 2x GAU-8 Avenger 30mm at 2100-4200rpm.
You should look into some battles from the Australian military. The battle of long tan, the kokoda track, gallipoli or the rats of tobruk are all good choices.

AC-130U Spooky has a five barreled 25mm GAU-12 Equalizer rotary cannon, a 40mm L60 Bofors, and am M137 105mm howitzer. Currently, the USAF are replacing the AC-130Us with the AC-130W and AC-130J. These utilize a Mk44 Bushmaster II 30mm cannon, the M137 105mm howitzer, wing-mounted pylons for Hellfire missiles and SDB/SDB2 (small diameter bombs), and launch tubes near the aft for Griffin A missiles and precision ordnance.
Love that sound "frap".
These guys are mentally strong and physically fit.they wake up on their own at 4.a extra 45 min of sleep more important then success.training these guys have self discipline.they dnt need a smile a come on.these guys and girls are also not stupid intellectually strong also.thank you for their strength,and service.
The laser paints the target for the helicopter, missile, or planes computer to guide the incoming projectiles. Can also be used as a location ping
I will have to send you and Australian Army patch!
Have you ever seen Mythbusters? It was a TV series about building things and testing myths and they did an episode where they cut a (dead) tree in half with some kind of Gatling gun (i am not familiar enough to know). It was great.
On Cobra Gold military exercise, US infantry brought Javelin wiht them. And god that thing made me some love. Maybe next video reaction Javelin.
It's a 105mm Howitzer. My dad served as a Seabee machinist in Vietnam. We have an ashtray he made. I was in my late teens when he finally told me what it was... "that's the butt end of a 105, I cut up several for other soldiers."
"sir how big of guns do we need on the AC-130"
"put a fucking Howitzer on it Joe! And 2 other guns you might see fit"
"uh OK sir!"
U deserve a sub my friend. Awesome videos keep it up :)
Estonian military looks pretty good!
Hey Artur my uncle is a Lt. Commander on the USS Ronald Reagen which is a nuclear aircraft carrier, we have things called tiger cruises where family and friends of the crew can stay a weekend on the ship seeing jets take off and land, firing the carriers weapons ect. Also shooting a football off the deck using the catapult and it coming back and seeing who can catch it for a prize. Youre more than welcome to come along haha
Regarding the comment about the laser at 13:50, thats not how it works. Essentially what they're doing is measuring distince and figuring out what grid coordinates they want the ac-130 to hit, then relay that information to the communications aboard the plane. Whether that request is granted is, well, up in the air
I'd love to see you check out the f-14 tomcat. That jet was a beast
Well well! Artur just got a challenge coin! Consider yourself lucky friend, a challenge coin is an honor.
3:04 they call it the crowd pleaser.
Yes the laser is true , a lot of different aircraft /helicopters can use it can be lazed by the aircraft , ground troops, or any number of options .
I like how Artur is kinda off with the specifications of the guns, for instance thinking 600rpm is op when its shooting around 1800 rpm with supposed plan to replace and upgrade the minigun to 2x GAU-8 Avenger 30mm at 2100-4200rpm.
You should look into some battles from the Australian military. The battle of long tan, the kokoda track, gallipoli or the rats of tobruk are all good choices.
Friendly AC130 above, someone's been playin CODMW2!
Dying to see you react to the F117 Nighthawk 👍
You should start a patch wall. and have everyone send you their military patches from around the world.
