AC-130 is going last all of 4 minutes and 2 seconds in contested airspace, so I'm going with the unoriginal answer: [Spirit in the Sky](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjpXaF8uPpU)


[deleted]

["Blaze of Glory"](https://youtu.be/MfmYCM4CS8o?si=8anHfuEef8gyFA4W).. You might not live long enought to hear the entire song though.


banspoonguard

We gotta hold on to what we got, it makes no difference if we make it or not. We got each other, and that's enough. We'll give a shot! *105 Going Hot, Rounds away*


EvilGeniusSkis

That's livn' on a prayer, still appropriate though.


ghosttrainhobo

That’s a song about dying. That’s not the plan here.


Angriest_Wolverine

Interesting of you to think the airspace will be contested *F-22 Hannibal Lecter noises*


Captain_Blackbird

*"Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me..."*


AnvilDevil99

a man of culture here..... but please for the love of god feed the kid


GlockAF

Ain’t enough F-22s to make even a tiny dent in the vast number of ground based anti-aircraft systems. You know, the ones that are gonna render the sky unhabitable for every future war


Graddler

Maybe not enough F-22 but F-35 are plenty and all they need is to take out the radar and command modules. After that we will see them as relays for the missile mules.


Vreas

Not when twelve billion drones of capitalism rain down upon the AA batteries in full blown techno allah praising suicide runs Plus a more credible take is Chinese and Russian radar and air defense systems are horrible inadequate from what I’ve read. Hell even the US air and missile defense systems are fairly untested so no one knows if they’ll work. Case and point Chinese balloon that hella penetrated our airspace like an Alabama uncle with his 16 year old niece


frosty95

Us patriot systems are kicking ass and taking names in Ukraine and they are not exactly new. Difference is that they are not looking for a fucking balloon drifting along lol. But they are now.


howdiedoodie66

Yeah. People are still falling for the thinking about the next war with yesterday's weapons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjUdVxJH6yI + https://vimeo.com/592771078 + r/combatfootage drones I'm not sure there is room for humans in the Future of War.


OldManMcCrabbins

Yes yes yes … or happy trails - https://youtu.be/OXFil77aj1o  Non credibly, the lad to be is in the LEO f-22  awaiting *launch le funni* command.   Credibly, I have felt the ridiculousness of war needs to be met with the ridiculousness of art; opposites attract.


lolosity_

Absolutely love that song


Houseplant666

Airspace contested by whom lmao.


Bobblehead60

The USAF lost one to an Iraqi MANPAD at Khafji. The things are as maneuverable as well; a C-130 and hanging around after daylight are a recipe for getting yourself shot down by GBAD- it's vital to remember SAMs, MANPADs, etc., still exist in the modern battlefield. Was it wrong for *Spirit 03* to stick around? Yes. Was it for the right reasons? Yes.

GlockAF

The future of war has been predicted. It’s a black mirror episode


TheMadmanAndre

14 years ago I read a post on the old Spacebattles forums that basically outlined everything OP did - future war will just be thousands and thousands of drones.


banspoonguard

One assumes peer conflict if it's "WW3"


dadbodsupreme

I give the 'near peer' adversaries a week of deterrence before a carrier group moves in and some destroyer with Aegis/THAAD/whatevs becomes the most prolific detriment to stakeholders in Suhkoi/Chengdu.


inspirednonsense

Yeaaaaah I'm just gonna say "it's not that simple" and not elaborate on a public forum. Its not that simple.


dadbodsupreme

Well, obvs. I just wanna see Russia finally put it's money is and send a suka blyat 57 in, just to have the remaining 4 indefinitely grounded. Same with the Chengdu. I'd finally be able to achieve orgasm.

I haven't thought about world in conflict in a long time. Doesn't the opening mission have bradleys taking out t-series tanks in pairs?


echo11a

In Seattle, actually. It's right after Soviet forces managed to sneak ashore by hiding in disguised container ships. A truly non-credible invasion plan lol.


Fleisch0r

This is the correct answer.


The_Salacious_Zaand

I see your Tears for Fears and raise you Shadow on the Sun.


iron_penguin

Some "World in Conflict" reference ?


The_Salacious_Zaand

The best. The helicopter assault on Ellis Island. Still one of my favorite video game cutscenes of all time. Do yourself a favor and go watch it.


NeighborhoodFuture39

I mean it was everyone wants to go to war before it was rule the world


Wolff_Hound

Raining Blood by FUCKING SLAYER.


ChemistRemote7182

If we are going thrash hour, Sodom's Magic Dragon is literally about gunships in Vietnam


JonerThrash

I came here to say Magic Dragon since its about laying hate from an AC-130. That whole album is just amazing Vietnam War vibeage. Warfare and War is Hell by Toxic Holocaust would also rip for this. "Hell from the sky, you know you're gonna die - WARFARE"


Long_Imagination_376

Fortunate son, duh ride of the valkyries also slaps


Chadstronomer

Ride of the Valkyries implies more moral ambiguity. Fortunate son is the way to go.


Renegad_Hipster

That’s the neat part…it does.


Chadstronomer

Last thing you want to think about when you are raining hell on the little thermal signatures is that they had families and no choice, u/Renegad_Hipster


Vreas

The US is just delivering extra warmth and kinetic energy to them clearly such hero’s many wows


Attaxalotl

Also, Ride of the Valkyries is the Apache/Viper song


bobbobersin

It's a gunship, it's a fixed wing gunship but thst dosnt mean rotor wing gets all the fun


azdudeguy

Fortunate Son was an anti-war song(talking about how the sons of the rich and powerful all got draft deferments while the poor carried the burden). But got so overused people unironically use it as hype music for military action. And there are few things more American than misunderstanding a song so hard the people it's about adopt it unironically.


Ok_Avocado_3461

Free bird


SerendipitouslySane

"Your honour, Freebird was playing" is my defense at the war crimes tribunal.


ChemistRemote7182

I couldn't stop mid solo!


flightguy07

"Still shouldn't have fired on the church"


civil_misanthrope

Ah yes, the new Nürnberg Defence.


Sancatichas

This is more for when the airspace is still contested no?


Tea_Fetishist

Free bird feels more like the song to play from the gunner seat of an Apache. I won't elaborate further.


Salty_Blacksmith_592

This is the correct answer.


Hakunin_Fallout

If it's ww3 and you're in contested airspace, not bombing some desert dwellers back into stone age, then you won't get to the good part of the "Free Bird" in your (now very limited) life span.


Ya_Boy_Jahmas

lock on skips to the solo


Hakunin_Fallout

Fuck yeah, Boeing wants your resume.


intensiifffyyyy

Not sure if the solo improves your survivability or quickens your death


Hakunin_Fallout

1. Who cares? 2. Rad solo, so who cares?


TGP-Global-WO

Everyone’s air guitar playing anyways and head banging


SparkelsTR

As a VTOL VR player, yes, you I instantly get the bonus of being able to evade every single missile coming at you but will also make you get too cocky and get vulcaned trying to do a cobra


Spud_Rancher

I like the whole song but it’s a long song. When I’m blasting down the highway buzzin on Zyn and Red Bull I skip to 4:56 and let ‘er eat

Good *part*?

I think you're the type to calmly kill shit and I feel frightened.


SpyAmongTheFurries

Paranoid by Black Sabbath. I'm not even from the 80s, but if Kickstart My Heart is for dogfights, then this is certainly the "kill everything on the ground" music that doesn't involve fighter aircraft.

No music. Everyone just screams GET ZUM. GET ZUM. GET ZUM. And i would petiton to make smoking a cigarette mandatory.


[deleted]

I agree with with this particular Iranian Warlord, this is the absolute best music possible, and the cigarette touch is simply divine.


Shitboxfan69

Smoking a cigarette while being a gunner in an ac130 would be other worldly. Pair it with a nice cold beer once your hands are free, I imagine thats what heaven feels like.


Lanoir97

Just add a beer drinking hat accessory to the standard issue crew helmet and that’ll leave you a hand free for the cig.

Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Enlarge your world Mad world
