New topic - Gunships in Libya
I'm coming from the standpoint that NATO have assets that could, within the terms of UN1973, kill ground troops loyal to Gadaffi in urban areas where airstrikes by fast jets can't.
I'm led to this by the many YouTube videos from Afghanistan showing rapid firing gunnery attacking individuals to groups of combatants amongst residential areas.
Misrata is a case in point where the city is divided between the opposing forces and mortar fire is killing civilians.
Am I wrong to think that something like a C130 type a/c suitably equipped could support rebels in suppressing ground forces in this situation?
