The action of using AC-130U Spooky gunships in the limits of populated areas in Iraq and elsewhere is an action of calling for extremely precise, direct firepower.
The AC-130U has the most advanced weapon’s software and the most extensive lines of software code of any aircraft on the planet — more than the space shuttle.
The AC-130U uses those computer programs to precisely attack — within 36 inches — a specific and discriminate target with a range of weapons including the 25mm, 40mm, and 105mm howitzer, all of which are extremely accurate.
The AC-130U is used mostly to protect elite U.S. special operations forces in combat, and provide surgical firepower in a danger-close manner in relation special forces.
The AC-130 was used in Sadr City recently as an alternate to a guided bomb from an F-16, F-15, or B-1 bomber, which would have most likely caused mass collateral damage.
The AC-130U is always, ALWAYS used as a tool to lessen collateral damage while protecting allied troops. That is why it is being used in Iraq, that is why the collateral damage is so low, and that is why the enemy neutralization is so effective.

Yeah, Drew!

Iran’s leadership has to be one pissed off crew right now. Their proxy army in Iraq, the Mahdi Army, is currently getting its ass kicked worse than Hezbollah did by the Israelis a year ago. Years of training these inept amatuers and arming them down the drain.
“a commander who was “wanted for facilitating the import of Iranian-made munitions into Iraq”
The Iraqis need to “soften” this guy up, and make him confess, and implicate iran, on Iraqi tv. They’ve done that before with good results.
man oh man...block by block..they are kicking ass over there...
god bless every one of them...true grit...
looks like we have yet another greatest generation...not that it was ever in doubt tbh...
