AC-130J Ghostrider - Highlights

Witness the transformation of an icon. This is the history of the world's most feared night hunters, from the venerable AC-130H Spectre and AC-130U Spooky, to the modernized AC-130W Stinger. The journey culminates with the 5th-generation AC-130J Ghostrider, a complete overhaul that is lighter, faster, and more efficient with extended range. Dubbed the most heavily armed gunship ever built, the Ghostrider's arsenal features 30mm and 105mm cannons, precision Air-to-Ground missiles like the Griffin and Viper, and smart munitions including Hellfire missiles and small diameter bombs.
