Hmm, they’ve provided enough info at the article to be able to determine just how much materiel can (at least on paper) be brought to bear in nine hours.

Just the Howitzer fires 20 kg 10 times per minute, 60 minutes per hour for 9 hours = 108,000 kg, 238,099.243 pounds.

Can they really carry enough for 9 hours, even if the barrel wouldn’t overheat?

Cool news, guess they didn’t need a backup gunship.

AC-130U 'Spooky II'

1× General Dynamics 25 mm (0.984 in) GAU-12/U Equalizer 5-barreled rotary cannon

1× 40 mm (1.58 in) L/60 Bofors cannon

1× 105 mm (4.13 in) M102 howitzer

I wonder which one of these was the most useful over nine hours of suppression?

Anyway, sucks to be ISIS.
