AC-130U, time to upgrade?

FASTBOAT TOUGH · #1 August 2nd, 2010, 07:35 PM

Just a thought, it seems to me it might be able to engage more targets in it's assigned target area then now allowed (Even before this new equipment upgrade.) but certainly should be less vulnerable with this new targeting system. All AC-130U's to be upgraded by 2011.

Try putting Pictures Angel Flares in google perhaps C-130 to if that does not get results

Never give up the "boat" (We never call subs 'ships"!) which of course when you're several hundred feet below the surface is never a good idea!! Here's the pics:
