Black Ops Plane Blows Drug Boat In Wild Combat Footage: WATCH
New combat footage appears to show the U.S. military using a highly advanced plane to blow up a drug boat.
The United States military appeared to use a highly-advanced black operations plane to ventilate a drug boat.
President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are currently overseeing a massive operation against narco-terrorists.
The U.S. military has conducted more than 20 lethal boat strikes, and regularly releases the footage to the public. There's also an unprecedented military build-up near Venezuela as we await possible strikes against dictator Nicolás Maduro.
The ball is rolling, and it's not going to stop.
United States rocks drug boat with heavily-armed black ops plane
U.S. Southern Command released footage earlier in the week of the latest narco-boat strike, and there's one clear difference from the previous strikes.
It wasn't carried out by a drone.
Instead, the footage seems to indicate an AC-130J Ghostrider took out the semi-submersible narco vessel.
The evidence for the Ghostrider being responsible is the spray of the rounds impacting on the water instead of a single bomb being dropped. Check out the truly stunning footage below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
Absolutely epic. While some might be complaining about these boat strikes, I can promise you I'm not losing a second of sleep over killing narco-terrorists. You see any fishing poles on that boat? Didn't think so.
As for the AC-130J, it's one of the coolest planes the United States has, and very few people know it exists.
It's a highly-advanced and shockingly heavily-armed variant of the AC-130 designed with one goal in mind:
Total obliteration of the enemy.
Open source intelligence indicated one arrived in the region months ago as the anti-cartel and Venezuela build-up began.
Now, it appears it's finally been put to work, and its weapons loadout is insane. The plane carries the Precision Strike Package, 30mm and 105mm cannons and a variety of different missile and bomb capabilities.
