You have no idea what you’re talking about. An Osprey doesn’t have a “forward firing weapon” because Direct Action Penetrators followed by -47s from the 160th are better suited to such a scenario.

On the topic of USAF security forces training to fight Spetsnaz…lol.

I think you missed the part about Harriers carrying soldiers in pods under their wings.

I figured it was real. Now I get to read about them. :) Thanks!

The US actually did strap people to the sides of helicopters for medevac at one point. The TV show MASH showed one of them. (And yes, the Bell 47 was real.)
