When the ground team says: "Send everything."

Night-vision footage of U.S. soldiers designating targets with an infrared (IR) laser as an MH-60L DAP provides close air support during a night operation in Iraq, 2009. Operated by the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Night Stalkers), the MH-60L DAP (Direct Action Penetrator) is a heavily armed Black Hawk variant equipped with the M230 30mm chain gun and Hydra 70 rocket pods in support of special operations forces.

Command: “You want us to send everyone?” Ground Team:

Being in attack helicopter crews is so fucking fun when things are going right.

Everything? This is just clearing your throat when you’re the US military.

fuck everything, but especially fuck that grid square right there!

SpecOps HH-60H. 2 - 7.62mm miniguns, 2 - 30x113mm M230L chain guns & 2 - 19-round 70mm rocket pods, usually with APKWS LASER-guided rocket. And a couple door guns. When they take fire, they don't run. Instead they dive on the location they're taking fire from & unload on it.
