All Spectres(AC-130H) are retired. So learn how to tell them apart. Not really that hard. While at it learn how to pick out an “M” variant. All US military combat aircraft are logistics intensive operations-that is a weakness.

M.A.H.: " All Spectres(AC-130H) are retired."

The last, named "Excalibur" in 2015.
Us & Ws still in service.
The new Js just starting.

M.A.H.: "So learn how to tell them apart.
Not really that hard.
While at it learn how to pick out an “M” variant."

Ms still officially classified as UFOs.
If you report seeing one you will be arrested and, ahem, "disappeared". 😀

So, OK wise guy, tell me which is which in my post #101, and why.

M.A.H.: "All US military combat aircraft are logistics intensive operations-that is a weakness. "

All US military equipment is logistics and maintenance intensive, period.
That's why force protection is a number one priority.
But, to my point again, protection is always a function of perceived threat.
If any US asset looks "vulnerable" to you, it's only because you are not considered much of a threat.

Pray that is always the case, pal.
