Lockheed AC-130 and C-130 Hercules

With its advanced and highly sophisticated side-firing weapons, the AC-130 can fire and target long ranges. It also has navigation, sensor and fire control systems that help the plane detect and target anywhere within range. The sensor radar does enable the craft to discern and identify hostile weather and safer landing grounds. Its ability to track and attack two targets at once is a comparatively huge plus among the other warbirds. It can shoot continuously without breaks, perhaps until the ammo runs out. It can as well launch an AGM-176 Griffin missile.
