• Lot Description
  The AC-130 is a heavily armed ground-attack aircraft based on the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. It is primarily operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and is designed for close air support, air interdiction, and armed reconnaissance missions. The AC-130 is specifically built for ground attack and provides significant firepower. It is equipped with a wide array of weapons, including cannons, howitzers, and guided munitions. The most common variant of the AC-130 is the AC-130H Spectre, which features a 105mm M102 howitzer, a 40mm Bofors cannon, and a 25mm GAU-12 Gatling-style cannon. The AC-130's primary mission is to provide close air support to ground forces. It can loiter over a target area for extended periods, delivering precise and sustained firepower against ground targets, such as enemy forces, vehicles, or structures. The aircraft's sensors and targeting systems enable it to locate and engage targets with great accuracy, even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the AC-130 can conduct air interdiction missions, disrupting and attacking enemy supply lines, convoys, and facilities. It has the capability to strike at a variety of targets, including armored vehicles, artillery positions, and command and control centers. The AC-130's large cargo hold allows for the installation of various specialized equipment, such as electronic warfare systems and sensors for intelligence gathering and surveillance missions. This versatility enables it to perform armed reconnaissance and provide real-time information to ground forces. The AC-130 has proven its effectiveness in combat operations and has been extensively deployed in conflicts such as the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. Its combination of firepower, endurance, and versatility has made it a formidable asset on the battlefield. It's worth noting that there have been several variants of the AC-130 over the years, with upgraded avionics, weapons systems, and sensors. These include the AC-130U Spooky and the latest AC-130J Ghostrider, which incorporates advanced technologies for improved performance and capabilities.
