Post; UH-60 pounds ground in show of force.


Really clear vid of a Blackhawk doing a nice show of force for the enemy.

Actually it's a M134 Minigun (7.62mm), the guns mounted on a UH-60 pod. The GAU-8/A known as a minigun, it's called the Avenger.


I think the ground based fire is a mounted M2 with an IR Light traget beam.

That's the MH variant, not the UH variant. In this particular video it is firing the 30mm as well.

Ain't she beautiful?

Other than that, as far as I know (and I'll double check and report back if something has changed) everything else is OPSEC.
